It was a summer day 

So many years ago 

I saw two people standing

Near our favorite place

Then it began to rain

He put his coat on her 

I watched them standing there in one last long embrace 

 

The way she looked at him

He looked at her the same

But in the their eyes 

I saw a world of hurt and pain 

It was their last goodbye 

The way it had to be

Two lovers standing in the rain 

 

And as I looked at them

I knew their destiny 

They would never see 

Each other once again 

I asked myself 

Could this be me?

Could love be cruel

And let this happen to me then? 

For as I looked at them

I thought of you and me 

I wondered will the love we have remain

Will love be kind to us?

Or is it destiny 

To be two lovers standing in the rain? 

 

I watched them kiss goodbye

They wiped the tears away

And then I saw him turn 

And walk toward the train

And in her eyes I saw

The pain of destiny 

All alone and standing in the rain  

 

Now as the years go by

I often think of them

And every time I do 

I still can feel their pain 

And then I start to cry 

As I remember them

Two lovers standing in the rain

 

And as I looked at them

I knew their destiny 

They would never see

Each other once again 

I asked myself 

Could this be me?

Could love be cruel

And let this happen to me then?

 

For as I looked at them

I thought of you and me 

I wondered will the love we have remain

Will love be kind to us?

Or is it destiny 

To be two lovers standing in the rain?
