Default Pink - I Have Seen the Rain

I'm sure not too many of you know who she is, but Pink's dad is a Vietnam veteran and wrote this song all those years ago.

Default Song

I liked it, pretty good when a old timer like us and sing to a new generation of people who enjoy some good old rock and roll, or a good ballad.

Wouldn't want you guys to think that the younger generations have forgotten what you did for your country. Thank you

Pink's step-brother was the bartender at my wedding. First name John. A good friend of my sister-in-law.

I Have Seen The Rain Lyrics & Video

Pink See albums and popular songs
I have seen the rain
I have felt the pain
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
I don't know where I'm going
I don't even know where I've been
but I know I'd like to see them again

Spend my days in searching
spend my nights in dreams
stop looking over my shoulder,baby,
I stopped wondering what it means.
Drop out, burn out, sold your home
oh they said I should've been more
probably so if I hadn't been in that crazy day at Vietnam war

I have seen the rain
I survived the pain
Oh I've been home 30 years or so
and I'm just stepping off of the plane

Spend my days in searching
spend my nights in dreams
stop looking over my shoulder,baby,
I stopped wondering what it means.
Drop out, burn out, sold your home
oh they said I should've been more
probably so if I hadn't been in that crazy day at Vietnam war

We have seen the rain together
we survived the pain forever
oh it's good to be home again
it's good to be with my friends
oh it's good to be home again
it's good to feel that way

We didn't do anything different the past, present, or future veterans have done, or will do, we just served our country when the call came. I am at peace with that.

I believe that should say, "crazy damn Vietnam war"
