Take the Rain

Words and music by Steve Goodman

When I peek into your bed and see you lying there
Like a little angel, my Little Boy Baby Blue,
It seems to me that I myself am once more a little boy
And I was just given a marvelous brand new toy.

But it's better, 'cause toys are cast aside
But I know you'll always bring my smile
'Cause you're my blue eyed baby,
My Little Boy Baby Blue.

I'll take the rain if I can leave you the sunny days.
I'll blow those clouds away so you can shine.
I'd take your pain if that would help you find your way.
I'd take your burdens away and make them mine.

And I think of when you'll go your own way,
And all the everything you'll ever be someday...

But in the meantime...
I'll take the rain, if I can leave you the sunny days.
I'll make blue skies from grey so you can shine.
I'd take your pain if that would help you to find your way.
You know I'd take your troubles and make them mine.

You'll never know
How much I love you from my head down to my toes...
You'll never know.
And every day that flies I'll watch you growing before my eyes.
And now you're walking, talking, running, flying away...

When the sunrise comes you'll rise, my son...
You'll wake us all before we're ready
But when you smile and laugh,
Four hours of sleep don't seem so bad...
...for ten minutes...

And after everything we'll give you,
And all the love we'll love you,
The time will come when you'll want to sing this song
To your little Baby Blue.

And then you'll say:

I'll take the rain if I can leave you the sunny days.
I'll blow those clouds away so you can shine.
I'd take your pain if that would help you find your way.
I'd take your burdens away and make them mine.
