Who Can Stop the Rain
Navigating Love's Storm: Who Can Halt the Downpour?
Lyrics
I was dancing in heaven, you were keeping time
The speaker was joyfully enjoying themselves while someone else was maintaining the rhythm or tempo.
Then I read your letter, sent shivers down my spine
Receiving a letter from the person they care about caused the speaker to feel intense emotions, possibly fear or apprehension.
Said our love was over, I was not the one
The letter indicated that the relationship was finished, and the speaker was not the chosen partner.
If it lasts forever, forever wouldn't be much fun
Suggests that if the love lasts indefinitely, it might not be enjoyable or fulfilling.
