[Verse]
The sky is crying
Look at the tears rolling down the streets
The sky is crying
Look at the tears rolling down the streets
I looked out my window
The rain was falling down in sheets

My baby left me this morning
Lord knows I do not know the reason why
My baby left me this morning
I do not know the reason why
And every time I think about it
I hang my head and cry

[Outro]
The sun is shining
Although it is raining in my heart
The sun is shining
Although it is raining in my heart
I love my baby
I hate to see us part
