We danced in the rain
The two of us
You held my hand
Promised that you'd never let go

A year later I'm alone
Your grave stares back at me
I wonder if you know
About the daughter you have

Three years past
I can't bring myself to love
Why should I?
You're not here

It's been 7 years
Our baby looks like you
She has your eyes
Coincidently grey

It's 10 years today
I miss you
Bright sunflowers sit by your grave
They look happier than I am

It's been 15 years
Our baby's grown up now
I still stand
Waiting for you

We were only 17
A love so rare and tragic
I wish still so very much
That you were here

Our baby's getting married today
I want to tell her to be careful
She looks so happy
Brighter than the sunflowers I left at your grave today

I'm tired now
So,so tired
I want to leave
But the wind refuses to let me go

Its time
It's been 30 years
The wait so long
Perhaps I'll dance in the rain one last time

You dance in the rain with me
Spinning me faster and faster
I can't hold on
I'm
finally
letting
go
