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
