Another rainy afternoon with nothing much to do So I climbed up in the attic looking for my fishing boots Found a cardboard box instead pushed way back on a shelf Covered up in dust and cobwebs, hidden from myself Soon as I untied that string, I knew what I would find All those pictures from back when you were mine Now I'm sitting by the window watching raindrops fall Going through our story, one snapshot at a time Raindrops on the window, memories in my hands Looking back at how it was before it all went bad Every picture tells a story of the way we used to be Raindrops on the window keeps me company While I'm holding what we had before we let it go Wondering where you are and if you even know That I'm still here missing you like crazy after all this time Raindrops on the window and you on my mind There's one from when we met at that summer barbecue You're holding a red solo cup, I'm making eyes at you Here's us on our first real date down at the county fair Wind blowing through your sundress, sunshine in your hair And here's the day I asked you with that ring I saved to buy You said yes and kissed me underneath the Georgia sky Those were the golden years when everything felt right Before the fighting started and the long and lonely nights Raindrops on the window, memories in my hands Looking back at how it was before it all went bad Every picture tells a story of the way we used to be Raindrops on the window keeps me company While I'm holding what we had before we let it go Wondering where you are and if you even know That I'm still here missing you like crazy after all this time Raindrops on the window and you on my mind We didn't mean to break it, just forgot to hold on tight Got too busy, grew apart, stopped talking through the nights Now you're gone and I'm alone with all these photographs Wishing I could go back and make the good times last The last one in the box is from the day you drove away I took it from the porch, you didn't know, your car was packed with everything Your mama came to help you, wouldn't even look at me I watched you leave and knew that's how it had to be I put the pictures back now, close the box up tight Maybe next time I can look without it hurting quite so bad The rain is slowing down now as the evening fades to gray But I'll be here remembering on every rainy day Raindrops on the window, tears I can't disguise Just raindrops on the window... and your love on my mind
