This Has Happened Before

Last night's so dang good

This morning made me cry

But the rain, like an old friend,

Came by to change my mind

The wind knows no secrets

But like it knew what was in store

Reminds me, oh so kindly,

This has happened before

I'm waiting at my window

I thought I heard your name

But the quiet of the evening

Was teasing me again

It's not too late for talking

But I'm afraid to ask for more

And then because that, after all,

This has happened before

All of your memories

Seem to be laughing at my pain

Trying not to listen

Is like talking to the rain

Love, like a candle,

Can't take me through the storm

It's bright enough to burn me

But too weak to keep me warm

I find my explanations

When I won't need them anymore

But me, and my old friends, know

This has happened before
