Raindrops Are Fallin' On My Head
(January 13, 1970 went to #1 for 5 weeks )
words by Hal David, music by Burt Bacharach
Mention the name B.J. Thomas and most folks associate the tune "Raindrops Are Fallin' On My Head" with him. He sang the song while Paul Newman rode his bicycle in the 1969 film, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". B.J.'s splendid voice won an Oscar for the movie and he performed it at the Academy Awards.
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
------ trumpet ------
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
