Knight, Gladys - I Wish It Would Rain Lyrics
Oooh, sunshine, blue skies
Please go away
My love has found another
And gone away
My life is filled with gloom
So day after day
I stay locked up in my room
I know to you
It might sound strange
But I wish it would rain
(How I wish that it would rain)
Let it rain, rain, rain, rain
I want to go outside
(Such a lovely day)
But I can't stop these tears
From fallin' from my eyes
Listen, I gotta cry
'Cause cryin' eases the pain
Oh, yes it does
Oh, yes it does
Oh, yes it does
People, this hurt I feel inside
Words could never explain
I wish it would rain
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Let it rain, rain, rain, rain
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Let it rain, rain, rain, rain
Ohhhh, and rain, rain
Let it rain
Day in, day out
My tear stained face
Pressed against the window pane
My eyes search the skies
Desperately for rain
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know
That I'm cryin', cryin', cryin'
When I go outside
To the world outside
My tears, I refuse to explain
I wish it would rain.
(Oh how I wish that it would rain)
Let it rain, let it rain.
Ohhhh
I'm a girl and I got my pride
Till it rains, I'm gonna stay inside
Let it rain, let it rain
I wanna say it one more time
I'm a girl and I got my pride
Till it rains, I'm gonna stay inside
Let it rain, let it rain
Ohh ohh ohhh, let it rain, let it rain

Knight, Gladys I Wish It Would Rain Comments
Glady's always been my favorite still today
Ooh-ooh-ooh, hah
Sunshine, blue skies
Please go away
My love has found another
And gone away
With him went my future
My life is filled with gloom
So day after day
I stay locked up in my room
I know to you
It might sound strange
But I wish it would rain
(How I wish that it would rain)
Let it rain, rain, rain, rain
So badly, so badly
I want to go outside
(Such a lovely day)
But I can't stop these tears
From fallin' from my eyes
Listen, I gotta cry
'Cause cryin' eases the pain
Oh, yes it does
(Oh, yes it does)
(Oh, yes it does)
GLADYS KNIGHT 💖 The Queen of soul !
YES🎶🎶🎶sorry Aretha!
Motown magic
Oh how I wish it would rain let it rain God Bless Gladys I love the Temptations to why shoot I just love good music
Johnny Adams version is the best hands down.
never mind i like both versions and i enjoy it
nah i loveee gladys night but nobody n i mean nobody can sing this better then david ruffin
Both almost equal. Glady's is much deeper and soulful.
This version is good, but, it's a song that needs to be sung by a man.
I don't know, maybe I'm being a lil' prejudice but this song belongs to David Ruffin. His anguish overrides her soul. The guy that wrote this song wife was cheating on him and he committed suicide, a man's voice just seemed more believable. Gladys sung it but David stepped on it!! Beautiful song!!!
Modelt5000 I love both versions. I understand your sentiments too. Ooo but Gladys sound so GOOD on this. When there are versions of songs that I like, they each become a different song to me and I don't compare in that case.
RIP William Guest! We recently lost him in December!
I don't know. But this version seems so much more soulful!
Wonderful.... love the strings.
you just believe every word she says x
love it
1:25 best part
I LOVE the Temptations... David Ruffin, geez, how do you say perfect... This version by Gladys Knight is out of the park, out of this world... off the charts! Goes to show, great artistry is timeless.
EXACTLY
I like this rendition.
@TonygMus2
AGREED.
its raining outside ... perfect time to sing this song
this version has got to be sex orientated: ie: males liker this version best.
and the temptations: females like best! am i right?
Wrong! I prefer Gladys, although David did it great.
Man i really love all the covers of this song, but The Temptations version is the best. This song was made for David's voice.
This woman is better than aretha franklin seriously !
You're a highly musical person 🌻 Gladys Knight is the Queen of soul and not screaming Mrs. Franklin!
Well pls don't hate me but the original version by Temptations is way better in my opinion
@epredbone32 AMENNNNNNNN! Don't get me wrong, I love the The Tempts version but this version is off the chain!
This track is so funky its make your face Ugly from listening PLEASURE!
this version over the Temptations any day!
I didn't even know they'd recorded a bersion of this till a few days ago! I actually like it better than the Temps' version. (I know, I know: BLASPHEMY!!)
Interesting fact for those who don't know. I checked the Billboard charts, and they say, this record was issued in 1968, seven month after the Temptations original. The Temts reached Nr. 4 and Gladys only Nr. 41. I think it was released too soon, after the original's success.
Both versions are great.
honestly I like this version so much better.
