Yesterday I Heard the Rain Tony Bennett Written by Gene Lees and Armando Manzanero Apparently never charted by anyone but it remains a nice song that was put on LP's by everyone from Vicki Carr, Roy Clark, and Shirley Bassey to Perry Como, Percy Faith and Frank Sinatra Yesterday I heard the rain whispering your name Asking where you'd gone It fell softly from the clouds on the silent crowds As I wandered on Out of doorways black umbrellas came to pursue me Faceless people as they passed were looking through me No one knew me Yesterday I shut my eyes, face-up to the skies Drinking in the rain But your image still was there floating in the air Brighter than a flame Yesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pity And I heard the steady rain whispering your name Whispering your name <instrumental break> Yesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pity And I heard the steady rain whispering your name Whispering your name
