Words and music by John Allee

 

You are like the rain
You pitter patter on my window pane
Then blow right through me like a hurricane
You are like the rain

You are like the snow
You’re up above when I am down below
You lay your blanket anywhere you go
You are like the snow

You are like a breeze
Deftly dancing on the shifting seas
Or faintly whistling mystic melodies
You are like a breeze …

And I am like a mountain or a forest or a valley
Fastened and unchanging but for centuries of knowing
And how is it that we should come to care about each other
When I am of the constant and you are of the free?

You are like the sun
You light my world and you’re the only one
When you arrive the day has just begun
You are like the sun
