Don't Let It Rain On My Parade - The Icicle Works

Where is that place you said to go

I’ve been thinking now I know

Some things look less appealing in the light of day

You’ll have to serve yourself somehow

No attendant’s comin' to your aid

Can I persuade your doubts to take a bow

Will you take me, friend or burden

When my light begins to fade

Will these wishes be forsaken

Please don’t let it rain on my parade

Nowhere to go, came from no place

I pursued your pretty face

I’ll buy your story if you’ll only buy me time

You know when a bad moon steals your fate

I beg of you don’t leave too late

Don’t criticise if you cannot participate

Will you take me, friend or burden

When my light begins to fade

Will these wishes be forsaken

Please don’t let it rain on my parade

Walk out in trepidation

Love slips through your fingers

Room enough for me and mine

Breaking through the clouds

We’re bound to shine…
