Kiss The Rain – Billie Myers

“Kiss the Rain” is a song by English recording artist Billie Myers, from her debut album Growing, Pains. It was released in 1997 as the lead single of the album by Universal Records. The song, produced by Desmond Child, is considered Myers’ signature song and is her only notable hit. Myers came up with the title of the song through a misheard lyric. Listening to Bush’s hit song “Glycerine”, she thought Gavin Rossdale was singing “Kiss the rain” on the chorus. When she discovered the correct lyric was “Glycerine”, she was still taken with the phrase “kiss the rain” and it inspired the title.

Lyrics
Hello
Can you hear me?
Am I gettin’ through to you?
Hello
Is it late there?
There’s a laughter on the line
Are you sure you’re there alone?
Cause I’m
Tryin’ to explain
Somethin’s wrong
Ya just don’t sound the same
Why don’t you
Why don’t you
Go outside
Go outside
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I’m gone, too long.
If your lips
Feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn.
Keep in mind
We’re under the same sky
And the nights
As empty for me, as for you
If ya feel
You can’t wait till morinin’
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Hello
Do you miss me?
I hear you say you do
But not the way I’m missin’ you
What’s new?
How’s the weather?
Is it stormy where you are?
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/billie-myers-lyrics/kiss-the-rain-lyrics.html ] Cause I’m so close but it feels like you’re so far
Oh would it mean anything
If you knew
What I’m left imagining
In my mind
In my mind
Would you go
Would you go
Kiss the rain
And you’d fall over me
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me
Only me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I’m gone too long
If your lips
Feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain
and wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We’re under the same skies
And the nights
As empty for me, as for you
If you feel
You can’t wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Oooooohhhhh
Kiss the rain
Oooooohhhhh
Kiss the rain
Hello
Can ya hear me?
Can ya hear me?
Can ya hear me?
