Peabo bryson can you stop the rain

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, girl

[Verse 1]
Here's another morning without you
Here's another day, will I get through
Without breaking down
Haven't seen the sun since you've been gone
Like my heart I lost it when you left me
And it can't be found

[Pre-Chorus]
How can I go on
Baby, I've been living on memories
Of you and me
All the love we made
All those tender nights
And those endless days
They're all here inside

[Chorus]
Baby, can you stop the rain from falling?
Won't you chase my clouds away?
I'd give anything to see the sun again
Only you can stop these tears from falling
I can't face another day
Baby, can you stop
Can you stop the rain? Oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Everywhere I go I feel you there
Following my footsteps like a shadow
Of my broken heart
Sometimes it's a pair of passing eyes
Or it's just the way someone who's talking
And there you are

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I all alone
Don't you ever wake up and reach for me
Where I used to be
Is there any chance
I just can't believe you're not lonely too
Just for me and you

[Chorus]
Baby, can you stop the rain from falling?
Won't you chase my clouds away?
I'd give anything to see the sun again
Only you can stop these tears from falling
I can't face another day, baby, can you stop
Can you stop the rain? Oh, oh

[Bridge]
If you are here for only one night
Baby, I know you remember
'Cause loving you once wasn't time enough
I know we can make it together
Together

[Chorus]
Baby, stop the rain
Won't you chase my clouds away
I'd give anything to see the sun again
Only you can stop these tears of mine from falling
I can't face another day
Baby, can you stop
Can you, can you stop the rain?

[Outro]
Can you stop the rain? yeah
How can I live without you, baby?
How can I let you go? yeah
Chase my clouds away, yeah

Critical reception[edit]

Review scores

AllMusic	[2]

AllMusic reviewer William Ruhlmann found that with Can You Stop the Rain "Bryson seemed to have reconciled himself to the public's view of him as primarily a balladeer, and he delivered the goods, especially on the title track [...] and on the Cynthia Weil/Barry Mann tune "Closer Than Close." Bryson helped his own cause considerably by involving himself in the writing and production of five of the 11 songs."[2]

Chart performance[edit]

Can You Stop the Rain reached number one on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, becoming Bryson's first album to do so.[3] It also peaked at number 88 on the US Billboard 200 for the week ending September 14, 1991.[4] This marked Bryson's highest-charting album since Straight from the Heart in 1984.[2] In 1994, Can You Stop the Rain was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[5]
