Don Williams Rainy Nights & Memories song lyrics

(Wayland Holyfield / Jim Rushing)

Its hard to hide a lingering disappointment

But most of the time I wear it well

Bur there are times when I just cant help remembering

The night you left, that rainy night when my whole future fell.

Rainy nights and memories go together

And with every drop of rain I feel the pain

I can almost hear my pleading,

On the night you were leaving

But I might have well have tried to stop the rain.

--- Instrumental ---

The blowing wind that moans outside my window

Seems to echo the closing of a door

For it was then I first realized I had heard your last goodbye

And my whole world went crumbling to the floor.

Rainy nights and memories go together

And with every drop of rain I feel the pain

I can almost hear my pleading,

On the night you were leaving

But I might have well have tried to stop the rain.
