Whenever the rain stops,
I gaze at the sky
and long for the rainbow.
Whenever night falls,
I lie on my bed
and long for the moonlight.
Oh whenever I be troubled,
I long for your presence
to come soothe away
my burdens, fears and tears.
But how painful it is
to know you are not near.
How bleak the skies are
without the glowing rainbow,
how empty the night is
without the glittering moon,
yet more empty my heart is
without the presence of my beloved
You!
