Don't Tell Me It's Raining

(album: Here I Am - 1967)

Don't tell me it's raining
When the sky is blue and the sun brightly shines
Don't tell me I'm going up
When in reality I'm going down

Lightning strikes and thunder roars
When thoughts of you go racing through my mind

Don't tell me it's raining
When the sky is blue and the sun brightly shines

Why do you say you'll go my way
Then turn around and leave me far behind
Why do you say the Earth is square
When in reality you know it's round

I don't appreciate of late
Your idle conversations waste my time

Don't tell me it's raining
When the sky is blue and the sun brightly shines

Don't tell me of hateful love
When after all you know that love is kind
Don't tell me there is no shadow
When your image lies there on the ground

Why must you put me on this way
Is there an answer in your shallow mind?

Don't tell me it's raining
When the sky is blue and the sun brightly shines

I won't believe it's raining
When the sky is blue and the sun brightly shines

Oh don't tell me it's raining
When the sky is blue and the sun brightly shines
