When your lover cries
Hold her close and whisper low
That tears are only rain
To make love grow
Kiss her tenderly
Tell her that you love her so
For tears are only rain
To make love grow
Anyone can plant a seed
But everybody knows
It needs both sun and rain
Before it blooms into a rose
So when your lover cries
Hold her close and whisper low
That tears are only rain
To make love grow
Tears are only rain
To make love grow
When your lover smiles
Let her set your heart aglow
But don't forsake her when
She's feeling low
Hold her to your heart
Dry her eyes and let her know
That tears are only rain
To make love grow
She may smile because she knows
Your love is deep and true
But when she sheds a tear
It may be because of you
So when your lover cries
Tell her that you love her so
For tears are only rain
To make love grow
