Rain Eyes - Chuck Berry

Rain eyes that blur the rays of sunshine

When all you see is seen through tears

The whole world seems as though it’s crying

Rain eyes, that’s how my world appears

One sunny day in Lou’siana

The clouds began to hover low

And darkness came in early evening

And brought a rain that would not go

I’s just a child when mother told me It seems your father’s gone away

It’s not his fault, my child, forgive him

I should have known he would not stay

You’re so much like him and he loves you

But now his love’s for only you

Although he forced himself to leave you

Rain eyes that cloud the hope of sunshine

When everything is seen through tears

The whole world seems as though it’s crying

Rain eyes, that’s how my world appears

It rains all evening into nighttime

Then rains all night and through the day

My mother’s eyes are weak from crying

Forgive her, she just lost her way

Since you’ve been gone her eyes have clouded

And darkness reigns her weary view

She’d see again from your returning

That God knows she’s in love with you

One rainy day in Louisiana

The trade winds blew the clouds away

A mother heard her boy shout, «Father»

My God, 'tis him, he’s come to stay
