Who can say what is real?

Things are rarely what they seem

Can you tell me what makes a soul?

Can you tell me what it means?

All these things will pass away

Like tears in the rain.

Last night I think I saw you cry

You wouldn't tell me why

I know you're hurting all the same

And I think I am to blame

All these things will pass away

Like tears in the rain

No matter what tomorrow brings

Hold on 'til the lady sings

We are but petals in the wind

In the cosmic scheme of things

Come on, baby, dry your eyes

Life's too short for long goodbyes

Though the time to part is near

I can love you while I'm here

All these things will pass away

Like tears in the rain.
