Song Lyrics - Raindrops - Dee Clark

Oh raindrops so many raindrops
It feels like raindrops falling from my eye, eyes
Falling from my eyes
Since my love has left me
I'm so all alone
I would bring her back to me
But I don't know where she's gone
I don't know where she's gone
It must be a cloud in my head
Rain keeps falling from my eye, eyes
Oh no it can't be tears
For a man ain't supposed to cry
So it must be raindrops so many raindrops
It feels like raindrops falling from my eye, eyes
Falling from my eyes
It must be a cloud in my head
Rain keeps falling from my eye, eyes
Oh no it can't be tears
For a man ain't supposed to cry
So it must be raindrops so many raindrops
It feels like raindrops falling from my eye, eyes
Falling from my eyes
It keeps falling, falling from my eyes
Woo-oo-oo it keeps falling from my eyes
