Teach Me to laugh in the rain

Teach me to Laugh in the Rain

Exhausted from the turbulent waves

every time i make it above the water

a new wave of troubles comes

Just trying to hold my head

above the floods

that are overwhelming me from the storm

Looking for someone to

teach me to laugh in the Rain

a way to rise above it all

make it sunny again

something positive

I've found little bits of sunshine

peeking out from under

the rain drench leaves

of my past experiences

fallen leaves from the

beginning of winter

than spring came

so I thought

but all i see is more

turbulent storms ahead

I';m just looking for someone to show me a way

to Teach me to laugh in the rain

If I could laugh i would

feel so much lighter

not like a rock sinking

in the rushing water

over drawn banks of a river

ready for a wall of water

that will come

wash all of me away

leaving the shell of who i once was

i no longer am sure

that anyone can

teach me to laugh in the rain

but if there is

someone who can guide me back

to the once positive Woman i was

who always was smiling

had control of all her emotions

never letting out a frown

just glad to be alive

experience the happiness

even in the smallest amount

making the sun shine for others

The one who would hold others

while they cry

and found joy

in teaching them to laugh in the rain

could someone come

and tell me how

Cause i forgot

so Please is there

someone who cares enough

just for a little while

i promised i won't keep you

any longer than necessary

just long enough so you can

teach me to laugh in the rain
