Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

I remember every word she said.
I'll probably never stop those
raindrops from falling on my head.
I don't know why you had to look
so much like Katherine Ross, or was
it Katherine that looked like you?
Now everytime I hear that Raindrop
song my heart goes back to you.
I know we'll never have anymore
of good or bad we had before.
I failed to ride that white horse on
time and you won't let me ride anymore.
I was brazen and aloof and at the time
I thought I loved you but today I will
state the truth, which is, I never acted
like I did, and my actions revealed the truth.
To you it became a forgone conclusion, that I
was a loser, a rogue, nothing but an illusion.
Still I will listen to that song
everytime it plays on the radio.
Perhaps someday, I will find myself
singing along and make it through
to the last few lines.
"Because I'm free.
Nothing's
worryin'
me."

Nice little borrow from B.J. Thomas's "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" James.
You make your point well with it.
