Bassey, Shirley - Yesterday I Heard The Rain Lyrics






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

  3. G.... M....

    One o the best renditions of this song ever...Shirley is incomparable.

  4. R.... S....

    Dame Bassy shines as always and is supported by incredible charts thanks Mr. Hazelhurst !

  5. R.... S....

    If this song had been done by BARBRA or KAREN and RICHARD it would be more well known great lyric and sentiment!!!

  6. R.... S....

    This is a great arrangement and song no one had a mega hit with it but it is a good solid song with several good renditions out there thanks for posting ❤️

    R.... S....

    Composed by Armando Manzanero (in Spanish) translated by Gene Lees (great translation) This was a hit for Manzanero in spanish speaking countries. Shirley does a very nice rendition but, I prefere Dionne Warrick / Burt Bacharach version. Dionne was quite young and her voice was at it's zenith, clean, soft, wonderfully smooth and delicate, her phrasing was terrific.

  7. F.... H....
