Soft rain was falling when you said goodbye
Thunder and lightning filled my heart inside
A love born in heaven had suddenly died
And the soft rain was teardrops, for the angels all cried

If love can be perfect ours must have been
But perfection is always destroyed by man
The rain whispered softly a true love just died
And the soft rain was teardrops, for the angels all cried

The rain started falling when you said goodbye
And lightning came crashing from out of the sky
The sky that was bright blue turned slowly to gray
And the angels cried with me as you walked away

If love can be perfect ours must have been
But perfection is always destroyed by man
The rain whispered softly a true love just died
And the soft rain was teardrops, for the angels all cried
And the soft rain was teardrops, for the angels all cried
