I was sitting on the edge of his bed
Staring at the headlines on the paper
He said, "look at poor gene Kelly
I guess he won`t be singing in the rain."
You can take away my heroes
Can you take away my pain
Take away my pain
Leave the cold outside
Please don`t let it rain
Don`t stumble on my pride
Take away my pain
I`m not frightened any more
Just stay with me tonight
I`m tired of this fight
Soon I`ll be knocking at your door
She was standing by the edge of his bed
Staring at the message on their faces
He said, "what else can you do babe?
I guess I won`t be coming home again."
They just took away all my promises
Make them take away my pain
Take away my pain
Leave the cold outside
Please don`t let it rain
Don`t stumble on my pride
Take away my pain
I`m not frightened any more
Just stay with me tonight
I`m tired of this fight
Soon I`ll be knocking at your door
His final scene
The actor bows
And all those years
Are gone somehow
The crowd applauds
The curtain falls
I was standing by the edge of the water
I noticed my reflection in the waves
Then I saw you looking back at me
And I knew that for a moment
You were calling out my name
You took away my hero
Will you take away my pain
Take away my pain
Let the cold inside
It`s time to let it rain
There`s nothing left to hide
Take away my pain
I`m not frightened any more
I`m learning to survive
Without you in my life
Til you come knocking at my door.......
