Once upon a time in the land of misty satin dreams
  There stood a house and a man who painted nature scenes
  He painted trees and fields and animals and streams and he stayed
  And he didn't hear the fallin' of the rain
  
  In the forest green lived a girl who put her hair in braids
  And she sang as she walked all around the wooded glade
  She was glad when the rain came falling on her face and she sang
  'Cause she didn't mind the fallin' of the rain
  
  Will it always be the same as we recall?
  Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall?
  Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see
  Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me
  
  High upon a hill far away from all the dusty crowd is a boy
  With his eyes on the ground; his head is bowed; he is a fool
  And his mind is filled with hopeless dreams and he waits
  But he will not see the fallin' of the rain
  
  Will it always be the same as we recall?
  Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall?
  Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see
  Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me
  
  So now the boy becomes the man who sits and paints all day
  But the girl with the braids in her hair has gone away
  And it seems that time has brought things to an end; nothing's changed
  'Cause you can't stop the fallin' rain.
