Have You Ever Seen The Rain 

by Cleerance Clearwater Revival

Someone told me long ago

There's a calm before the storm

I know, it's been comin' for some time

When it's over, so they say

It'll rain on a sunny day

I know, shining down like water

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain

Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yesterday and days before

Sun is cold and rain is hard

I know, been that way for all my time

'Til forever on it goes

Through the circle, fast and slow

I know, it can't stop, I wonder

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain

Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yeah!
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
