COLD NOVEMBER RAIN (by Roger Lehman)

Another midnight in the cold November rain,
Another year without Mom and I can feel the coming holiday pain,
Feeling cold and lonely and all the way to the bone,
I miss my brothers and my sisters and I'm out in the rain all alone,

The lights that used to guide me through the stormy nights have all gone out,
I'm left here on my own, and I'm filed with doubt,
All the familiar sign posts are gone, I can't find them anymore,
Guess I'll just keep moving forward, to see what's next in store

I stopped into a tavern, I needed to take a break from myself,
Can't stand my own company, I'd rather be with anybody else,
The man in the corner handed me his guitar and said "hey play us a song",
So this is what I played, and everybody sang along

Another midnight in the cold November rain,
Another year without Mom and I can feel the coming holiday pain,
Feeling cold and lonely and all the way to the bone,
I miss my brothers and my sisters and I'm out in the rain all alone,

The lights that used to guide me through the stormy nights have all gone out,
I'm left here on my own, and I'm filed with doubt,
All the familiar sign posts are gone, I can't find them anymore,
Guess I'll just keep moving forward, to see what's next in store
