Perry Como

 
I Think of You - 1971
 
Yesterday
I Heard the Rain
 
Yesterday I heard the rain, 
whispering your name,
asking where you'd gone . . .
It fell softly from the clouds 
on the silent crowds,
as I wandered on . . .
Out of doorways 
black umbrellas came to pursue me,
Faceless people as they passed 
were looking through me,
no one knew me . . .

Yesterday I shut my eyes, 
face-up to the skies,
drinkin' in the rain . . .
But your image still was there 
floating in the air,
brighter than a flame . . .
Yesterday I saw a city, 
full of shadows without pity,
and I heard the steady rain, 
whispering your name,
Whispering your name . . .

< instrumental break >

Yesterday I saw a city, 
full of shadows without pity,
and I heard the steady rain, 
whispering your name,
whispering your name, 
whispering your name . . .
