It’s been a hard time

and when it rains it pours 

Verse 
G            C 
I walk alone assaulted it seems

by tears from heaven

thinking those tears are yours 

Verse 
G             C 
Our wild love came from above

like a voice that knows it’s gone

G                           C 
‘Cause darling you died and well I cried

The children will rise

strong and happy be sure 

Verse 
       G 
‘Cause your love flows 
         C 
 and the corn still grows

G 
We’re only given 
   C                     D 
as much as the heart can endure

But I don’t know why 
    C                D

    C                D 
and when it rains it pours

like a smile from heaven
