This is one of my favorite songs of all time, and I actually remember this being a trying-to-be-quiet cover I did for a friend of mine. It was 3am and this song came up in an online conversation, and so I told him, "I'll be back in a little bit!" This is what I came back with.
I love this song so much and I have every intention of coming back to it with something bigger in the future.
lyrics
Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way that he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long
Until happiness steps up to greet me
The raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me
It won't be long
'Till happiness steps up to greet me
The raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me
