Rhythm of the Rain 

Songwriter:John C. Gummoe

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain

telling me just what a fool I've been

I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain

and let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away

looking for a brand new start

But little does she know that when she left that day

along with her she took my heart

Rain please tell me know does that seem fair

for her to steal my heart away when she don't care

I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away

The only girl I care about has gone away

looking for a brand new start

But little does she know that when she left that day

along with her she took my heart

Rain won't you tell her that I love her so

Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow

Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain

telling me just a fool I've been

I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain

and let me be alone again

Oh listen to the falling rain

The last leaf 

The last leaf clings to the bough

just one leaf, that's all there is now

And my last hope live with that lonely leaf, lonely leaf

with the last leaf that clings to the bough

Last summer beneath this tree

My love said she'd come back to me

before the leaves of autumn touched the ground, touched the ground

My love promised she'd be homeward bound

Then one by one the leaves began to fall

and now that winter's come to call

The last leaf that clings to the bough

just one leaf, that's all there is now

Will my last hope fall with that lonely leaf, lonely leaf

with the last leaf that clings to the bough

Bough, bough, bough

There's a Reason 

There's a reason for a snowfall

a reason why a tree is tall

a reason why a star is bright

a reason why the moon glows

a reason why the wind blows

a reason why it's dark at night

But I don't know why I should cry

just because you said goodbye

There must be a reason 

I'd like to know why

Oh why, oh I'd like to know

There's reason for a sunbeam

a reason for a daydream

a reason why the desert dries

a reason why a stream falls

a reason why there's rainbows

a reason for a cloudy sky 

But I don't know why I should cry

just because you said goodbye

There must be a reason

I'd like to know why

There was a time when I could smile

We'd sit and talk of us while

Times I never got your love

and thanked my lucky stars above

There must be a reason

I'd like to know why

(why, oh why) why I'd like to know

Please tell me why

I wanna know why
