Verse:
Buds will soon be flowers, Birds will sing of Spring,
Now's the time when love should bloom for me.
In my lonely hours, Lifes an empty thing,
Clouds appear where skies of blue should be.
 
Chorus:
It looks like rain in Cherry Blossom Lane,
The sunshine of your smile's no longer there.
It looks like rain in Cherry Blossom Lane,
Your golden voice no longer fills the air.
The rippling notes have left the old mill stream.
There's nothing left for me but just a dream.
There'd be no rain in Cherry Blossom Lane,
If you were there to tell me that you care.
