Yesterday I Heard The Rain

Tony Bennett

Yesterday I Heard the RainTony BennettWritten by Gene Lees and Armando ManzaneroApparently 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 SinatraYesterday I heard the rain whispering your nameAsking where you'd goneIt fell softly from the clouds on the silent crowdsAs I wandered onOut of doorways black umbrellas came to pursue meFaceless people as they passed were looking through meNo one knew meYesterday I shut my eyes, face-up to the skiesDrinking in the rainBut your image still was there floating in the airBrighter than a flameYesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pityAnd I heard the steady rain whispering your nameWhispering your nameYesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pityAnd I heard the steady rain whispering your nameWhispering your name
