Hope

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me, it won't be long
Till happiness steps up to greet me
…  
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me
Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
By BJ Thomas

 Hope

Raindrops fall on all of us
whether we want them to or not.
There isn’t a blessed thing
we can do about it.

We can complain, but
no one listens anyway.
So, the best we can do,
is not cry about them.

We just have to not let them
defeat us. The sun will come out
again, the raindrops will stop and
the blues will go away.

Thanks Paula, I appreciate your comments. Glad you like this one. I first heard the song while watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in the theater. I like it as well. Best
