The plans we made last summer

Have all just fallen through;

My bank account is so tapped out,

I can't get back to you.

It seems like rain's been falling

Ever since we've been apart;

Outside the house it's Michigan,

But it's Rio in my heart!

 

Oh, rain--don't take away my mem'ries,

Swept down the drain and carried

To the inland seas;

Oh, rain--don't take the final trace from me:

The sights, the sounds, the taste the touch,

The smell of your perfume I loved so much,

Oh, rain, don't be a enemy.

 

When Bruno introduced us,

Instantly I knew;

You laughed at my broken Portuguese,

Somehow I got through;

Do you remember New Year's Eve

On the beach beneath the moon?

Leaving candles and gifts for Iemanja--

Why did it end so soon?

 

(Chorus)
