Ryan Long – If It Hadn't Rained lyrics

My mother was the kind of girl
you saw every day at school
but you really didn't know her name
she had a friend in the neighborhood
once walking home, he asked her if she would like to come in out of the rain
he asked her for a kiss, she gave him one
What they did that day couldn't be undone

if it hadn't rained that day
if it hadn't rained
everything would have been different...
if it hadn't rained

Drug store test was positive
she knew she could not keep the kid
and she wept without making a sound
the day she was going to end it
she was headed out the door for the clinic
but the rain.. it was pouring down
she sat on the couch, Oprah was on
with children saying what their mothers had almost done..

if it hadn't rained that day
if it hadn't rained
everything would have been different
if it hadn't rained

now I'm alive, and I might not be
holding my son and my daughter close to me
we're at home, and we're a family
I might not have this love surrounding me

if it hadn't rained that day
if it hadn't rained
everything would have been different
if it hadn't rained

if it hadn't rained that day
if it hadn't rained
everything would have been different
if it hadn't rained

each day I thank God that it rained...
