D            D7           G
Soft rain was falling when you said goodbye
 A7                                    D
Thunder and lightning filled my heart inside
                 D7        G    
A love born in heaven had suddenly died
        A7                                         D
And the soft rain was teardrops for the angels all cried.

  A7                   D                 
If love can be perfect ours must have been
   A7                        D
But perfection is always destroyed by men
                   D7       G
The rain whispered softly a true love just died
        A7                                        D
And the soft rain was teardrops for the angels all cried.

     D           D7           G
The rain started falling when you said goodbye
   A7                                      D
And lightning came crashing from out of the sky
              D7             G
The sky that was bright blue turned slowly to grey
         A7                                D
And the angels cried with me as you walked away.

  D             D7           G
If love can be perfect ours must have been
  A7                                D
But perfection is always destroyed by men
             D7             G
The rain whispered softly a true love just died
      A7                                          D
And the soft rain was teardrops for the angels all cried.
