The sky was clear on that windy day 'Til the clear blue sky began to turn to gray The lightning flashed, the thunder roared above Then fell a drop of rain to start our love [Chorus:] Let the river get wide, the river gets long, now And the river gets wide The water runs deep as our love gets strong now So baby, don't you fight and say you belong now To me Upon the roof we heard the gentle rain With the rhythm of our heartbeats, down it came As it hit each drop our hearts could feel the pain No one on earth can stop a drop of rain
