On a late September morning, the day you vowed, “I do”
I was your Maid of Honor wrapped in velvet blue
The veil could not conceal the radiance of your face
From head to toe, you were a vision of elegance and grace
I stood beside you at the altar, I handed you his ring
And as you swirled about, I humbly held your train
The sun was shining so bright on that perfect day
I beckoned for the clouds, I prayed for skies of gray

Chorus:
I wished for rain
I’m not ashamed to admit
I wished for rain
And though I yearned in vein
I wanted rain
I thought God heard my plea
‘Cause then it started raining
But the only one it rained on was me

Isn’t God amusing using His own plan
When all I wanted was for you to love me more than him
I wanted every moment to be seen and understood
I wanted you to know me like I knew nobody could
And though I am your closest friend
I can’t share with you these things
I’m taken by surprise and it’s driving me insane

Chorus

Bridge:
Funny how the whiteness of a bridal gown
Illuminates the blackness of this hole I’m falling down

On a late September morning, the day you vowed, “I do”
I gave my word of honor to help you see this through
But now I stand beside you in a state that’s so unreal
Pretending that I’m feeling something I don’t really feel
Somehow I lost myself in you
Now I’m burning in this flame
I’m screaming for your love, I’m dying to be saved

Chorus:
I wished for rain
I’m not ashamed to admit
I wished for rain
I didn’t ask for fortune or fame
I wanted rain
I thought God heard my plea
‘Cause then it started raining
But the only one it rained on was me
