Clapton, Eric - Let It Rain Lyrics






The rain is falling through the mist
Of sorrow that surrounded me.
The sun could never thaw away
The the bliss that lays around me.

[Chorus:]
Let it rain, let it rain,
Let your love rain down on me.
Let it rain, let it rain,
Let it rain, rain, rain.

Her life was like a desert flower
Burning in the sun.
Until I found the way to love,
It's harder said than done.

[Chorus]

Now I know the secret;
There is nothing that I lack.
If I give my love to you,
You'll surely give it back.

[Chorus]

    George Harrison’s input to this song is extraordinary!!😢👋♥️♥️♥️♥️

  9. P.... E....

    Eric’s first solo outing what a fantastic start to an amazing career!!🎤🎸🎸🎸♥️♥️♥️👋♥️🇦🇺🇺🇸

  10. N.... N....

    Sounds like Eric listened to “it don’t come easy” got high and made this song.

    N.... N....

    No, I think Ringo was the one that got high. Let It Rain was on Clapton's 1970 album. It Don't Come Easy came out in 1971. They were both high and drunk all the time anyway, so I don't think it makes a difference...

  11. S.... ....

    Good song.  Really good.

  12. K.... G....

    One of favorite songs ever

  13. F.... R....

    AaaHhh,Mr.Eric Clapton one of my all time favorites.man went through hell n back.still gave us his best.God Bless Mr.Eric !!

    I used the line let your love rain down on me on a girl years ago she loved it

  16. K.... G....

    2020❤️Eric

  17. b.... ....

    Wow. listen to that bass sing..

  18. _.... ....

    Why isn’t this song more popular?

    _.... ....

    This tune is widely acclaimed by critics and the general public as one of the most popular and well received recordings that he has ever done. I am very fond of it myself actually and Eric probably is too. If he isn't ....he should be because it truly is a masterpiece of epic proportions

  19. J.... F....

    This Dude!🎸

  20. M.... A....

    Eric really gets it rolling at 2:57

  21. J.... L....

    408 people need to get off my planet i have no room for idiots.

    J.... L....

    1 more idiot joined the ranks....how could you not love this song is beyond me...its frickin AWESOME!! I feel sorry for them...they must be really lost souls

    J.... L....

    Mike your a smart man.the guitar solo at the end is epic.oh by the way that's Leon Russell on piano Steven Stills on rhythm guitar such a CLASSIC.

  22. r.... l....

    a great cut, if i give love give it back. good advice, bob

  23. E.... M....

    The best of the best of the bestest.

  24. M.... W....

    I remember cream

  25. M.... G....

    Remember. The sun always comes out in the end. Always.

  26. b.... ....

    My guess would have been Virginia or Maryland. Awesome job on this video.

  27. C.... B....

    "B" side of first 45-single I bought. After I wore out "After Midnight" on "A" side, decided what the hell, and flipped it over. An even better pleasure. Coin was sparse; we'd flip and drool over records in stores until we had enough change. Still happy with this expenditure.

    Let It Rain -- Lyrics

    The rain is falling through the mist of sorrow that surrounded me
    The sun could never thaw away the bliss that lays around me
    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let your love rain down on me
    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let it rain, rain, rain
    Her life was like a desert flower burning in the sun
    Until I found the way to love, it's harder said than done
    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let your love rain down on me
    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let it rain, rain, rain
    Now I know the secret; there is nothing that I lack
    If I give my love to you, you'll surely give it back
    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let your love rain down on me
    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let it rain, rain, rain
    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let your love rain down on me
    Let it rain, let it rain,

    Excellent

  60. S.... W....

    I love this video. You did a great job with the photos, even if the lyrics are actually about something else! I watch it and listen to it over & over. We used to live on the Virginia side of the Potomac, not too far from the 301 bridge. I would have lived there forever, but my husband had aspirations for "bigger and better" jobs. Too bad. It was a great place to live.

  61. D.... B....

    Year? Chart positions? Dammit, people -- said Mr. Obvious -- don't make TWO MILLION of us look it up! PUT IT IN THE DAMNED DESCRIPTION SECTION, AUTOMATICALLY.

  65. J.... L....

    Nobody should be that good

  66. J.... L....

    Let it rock rock rock god has spoken at least to me

  67. M.... S....

    I used this as my rain dance song during those long stretches of NM drought...didn't work very often, but the song made it all worth while.

  68. D.... ....

    The rain is falling through the mist of sorrow that surrounded me
    The sun could never thaw away the bliss that lays around me

    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let your love rain down on me
    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let it rain, rain, rain

    Her life was like a desert flower burning in the sun
    Until I found the way to love, it's harder said than done

    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let your love rain down on me
    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let it rain, rain, rain

    Now I know the secret; there is nothing that I lack
    If I give my love to you, you'll surely give it back

    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let your love rain down on me
    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let it rain, rain, rain

    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let your love rain down on me
    Let it rain, let it rain,
    Let it rain, rain, rain

    A very good song

  73. L.... C....

    Jim Gordon.

  74. G.... J....

    I HAVE ALWAYS CONSIDERED THIS CLAPTON'S SIGNATURE SONG.

  75. A.... W....

    I used to play & sing this song over 20 years ago! I’m 42 now!

  76. s.... r....

    George Harrison should get royalties on this song. Just because...

  77. J.... L....

    378 people need to get off my planet

  78. d.... l....

    Ec is a great artists

  79. S.... S....

    Bless my good brother, Ronnie, for driving me around in his fancy cars and playing these 8 tracks.

    Imagine... there are people out there who never played a vinyl record, 8 track, cassette, or even a CD! You don't know what you missed and perhaps that is for the best. I remember it like it was yesterday and Clapton still rocks!

    S.... S....

    What is frightening is that as of the 11th of this month we have an entire generation of freshly minted American adults who have been at war their entire lives...

  80. M.... P....

    If I give my love to you be sure to give it back.

  81. A.... M....

    Beautiful video man

  82. W.... O....

    One of the greatest guitar interludes at the end of this song ever.

  83. P.... L....

    Instantly takes me back when I was 11.This was the quality of music we the lucky generation listened to as we turned the dial on the radio.

  84. J.... L....

    Solo at the end is epic just stuns me

  85. R.... Z....

    It's raining heavy and thundering outside now and i'm listening to this song to sum things up lol

  86. g.... ....

    Just a beautiful song

  87. A.... D....

    I will never get tired of listening to this song. This music is pure genius.

  88. o.... ....

    368 dislikes ???????????? a WONDERFUL song and epic performance :-) Great Video...perfect for DT's July 4th Parade - LOL

  89. D.... D....

    The ending solo guitar still sends a chill down my spine when cranked on the Bose system

  90. Y.... T....

    Please give me more good music as this;)

  91. l.... ....

    Saw EC w/Santana at Pittsburgh's Civic Arena 6/30/1975
    (had to look that up). They had the roof open, EC's in the middle of a song when it starts to rain, on the audience.....you guessed it, the band stopped the song they were playing and immediately started playing "Let it Rain". Never forget that, it was great!!

  92. A.... D....

    This and Badge are my 2 faves by Clapton

    A.... D....

    the core rocks too

    A.... D....

    @fernmann7 good taste sir

  93. K.... P....

    One of those songs when you can identify it after the first chord and you know you're in for a treat. Snaps for the bass tab!

  94. c.... r....

    Ya wonder the Chinese ban this song, bad vibes deduct 500 points and rerain. Well stretch 90 degrees a smooth preferred heat of a Tea Party's tea demand, or wear a necklace of gofuru 4 good treatment..- -1:39

  95. A.... ....

    Wouldn't just ONE day back then be a thing?..I fear too many of us wouldn't come back, perhaps even me.

  96. l.... m....

    Steven stills tracked some of the base lines on this.

    l.... m....

    not him. Carl Raddle

    l.... m....

    @fernmann7 read it in a book..

  97. G.... K....

    Iconic, mesmerizing, haunting track here - one of the best of all time no doubt... however on the entire "Layla" LP Duane does put Eric to shame :-)... simply sayin' man...

  98. A.... B....

    Smoked a GENEROUS amount of weed in 1978 to this tune/album! ZERO REGRETS!

    A.... B....

    too bad you didnt get it all.....

  99. c.... n....

    Brilliant tune ❤️
