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...
Yesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pity And I heard the steady rain whispering your name Whispering your name
Shirley Veronica Bassey 8 January 1937 - (age 74) Tiger Bay, Cardiff, Wales
