When your lover cries hold her close and whisper low That tears are only rain to make love grow Kiss her tenderly tell her that you love her so For tears are only rain to make love grow Anyone can plant a seed but everybody knows It needs both sun and rain before it blooms into a rose When your lover cries hold her close and whisper low That tears are only rain to make love grow (Tears are only rain to make love grow) When your lover smiles let her set your heart aglow But don't forsake her when she's feeling low Hold her to your heart dry her eyes and let her know That tears are only rain to make love grow She may smile because she knows your love is deep and true But when she sheds a tears it may be cause of you When your lover cries tell her that you love her so For tears are only rain to make love grow
