[Intro]
Ooh
Everywhere I look, I see rain...

Why am I here if you're there?
So far away, it's not fair
To be without you like this
I miss you more than you know
The nights are long, the days slow
Without the warmth of your kiss
Wish you were back here with me
'Cause out my window, all I see is

[Chorus]
Rain, rain in the sky
Everywhere I look my eyes see
Rain, rain fallin' down
Crying as it hits the ground
Rain, rain in my heart
Every day that we're apart
Rain, rain
Falling rain

[Verse 2]
The sun is strong when you're near
But when you're gone, it disappears
Behind an ocean of blue
The telephone's not good enough
It can't reach out it can't touch me
The way that you do
Wish you would knock at my door
'Cause only you can stop this pouring

[Chorus]
Rain, rain in the sky
Everywhere I look my eyes see
Rain, rain fallin' down
Crying as it hits the ground
Rain, rain in my heart
Every day that we're apart
Rain, rain
Falling rain
Rain, rain
Rain, rain
Falling rain

[Bridge]
Maybe I'll go outside
And walk beneath the clouds
Pretend it's you that's watching over me
This isn't the only thing that comes between us now
Baby, soon we'll be together

[Break]
(Everywhere I look I see the rain)
(Everywhere I look I see the rain)
Rain
(Everywhere I look I see the rain)
Everywhere I look I see rain
(Everywhere I look I see the rain)
Rain
(Everywhere I look I see the rain)
Rain
(Rain, rain in the sky)
(Everywhere I look my eyes see rain)
Rain
(Rain falling down)
Down
(Crying as it hits the ground)
Don't, don't let it hit the ground
(Rain, rain in my heart everyday that we're apart)
(Rain, rain)
Rain
(Falling rain, rain)
Rain
(Rain, rain)

[Chorus]
Everywhere I look I see the rain
Everywhere I look I see the rain
But I don't see you
You're not near me
I need you... ooh
Rain
It'll never be the same
If you don't stop the rain

Cher is an American singer, songwriter, actress, model, fashion designer, television host, comedian, dancer, businesswoman, philanthropist, author, film producer, director, and record producer.

Cher gained popularity in 1965 as one-half of the folk rock husband–wife duo Sonny & Cher after their first hit, “I Got You Babe”. She began her solo career simultaneously, releasing in 1966 her first million-seller song, “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)”. After the duo had lost its young audience owing to their monogamous, anti-drug lifestyle during the period of the sexual revolution and the rise of the drug culture, she returned to stardom in the 1970s as a television personality with her shows The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and Cher. She became a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows. While working on television, she established herself as a solo artist with the number-one singles “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves”, “Half-Breed”, and “Dark Lady”. After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, Cher’s much-publicized personal life led to a decline in her career, although she launched a minor comeback in 1979 with the disco-oriented album Take Me Home and earned $300,000 a week for her 1980–1982 residency show in Las Vegas.

In the early 1980s, Cher made her Broadway debut, and then starred in the film Silkwood. Her performance earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1983. In the ensuing years, she starred in films such as Mask, The Witches of Eastwick, and Moonstruck. She made her directorial debut in the 1996 film If These Walls Could Talk. At the same time, she established herself as a rock singer by releasing platinum albums such as Heart of Stone (1989) and top-ten singles such as “I Found Someone” and “If I Could Turn Back Time”. She reached a new commercial peak in 1998 with the song “Believe”, which features the pioneering use of Auto-Tune, also known as the “Cher effect”. Her 2002–2005 Living The Farewell Tour ended up as the highest-grossing music tour by a female artist then. In 2008, she signed a $60 million per-year deal to headline the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years. After seven years of absence, she returned to film in the 2010 musical Burlesque. Cher’s first studio album in 12 years, Closer to the Truth, became her highest-charting solo album in the U.S. to date.
