It was rainin' hard in Houston when I ran into her I searched for conversation but I was lost for words Then a cloud of tear-filled memories came crashing down on me If it hadn't been for the pouring rain I'm sure she would have seen Tears in the rain, hidin' the pain Maybe she'd come back if she could see me cry She thinks I'm so strong, oh but she's so wrong She just couldn't see these tears in the rain Now I regret that moment 'cause I didn't let her know How much I still loved her I was hopin' it would show But the raindrops and the teardrops ran together on my face Now she'll never, ever know no one could take her place Tears in the rain, hidin' the pain Maybe she'd come back if she could see me cry She thinks I'm so strong, oh but she's so wrong She just couldn't see these tears in the rain She thinks I'm so strong, oh but she's so wrong She just couldn't see these tears in the rain
