Tears Are Only Rain
By Hank Thompson [3/4 time]
G D7
When your lover cries hold her close and whisper low
G
That tears are only rain to make love grow
D7
Kiss her tenderly and tell her that you love her so
G
For tears are only rain to make love grow
C G
Anyone can plant a seed but everybody knows
C G D7 G
It needs both sun and rain before it blooms into a rose
D7
So when your lover cries hold her close and whisper low
G
That tears are only rain to make love grow
D7
Now when your lover smiles let her set your heart a glow
G
But don't forsake her when she's feeling low
D7
Hold her to your heart dry her eyes and let her know
G
That tears are only rain to make love grow
C G
She may smile because she knows your love is deep and true
C G D7 G
But when she sheds a tear she may get blue because of you
D7
So when your lover cries tell her that you love her so
G
For tears are only rain to make love grow
D7 G
For tears are only rain to make love grow
