Lyrics: yesterday i heard the rain

Yesterday I Heard the Rain

Tony Bennett

Written by Gene Lees and Armando Manzanero

Apparently never charted by anyone but it remains a nice song that was put on LP's by

everyone from Vicki Carr, Roy Clark, and Shirley Bassey to Perry Como, Percy Faith and

Frank Sinatra

Yesterday I heard the rain whispering your name

Asking where you'd gone

It fell softly from the clouds on the silent crowds

As I wandered on

Out of doorways black umbrellas came to pursue me

Faceless people as they passed were looking through me

No one knew me

Yesterday I shut my eyes, face-up to the skies

Drinking in the rain

But your image still was there floating in the air

Brighter than a flame

Yesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pity

And I heard the steady rain whispering your name

Whispering your name

Yesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pity

And I heard the steady rain whispering your name

Whisperingyourname
