STORM BEFORE THE CALM (c) 1994 Monica E. Gomez 1st Verse: I was staring out the window, standing at the kitchen sink when the tears began to gather and I didn’t even blink. 2nd Verse: They were rolling down my face like the rain rolls down the glass. Light and shadows crossed the heavens and I knew the storm would pass. Bridge: Then you felt the silence, and you saw my face was wet, so you told me, “Stop crying.”  And I turned and said, “Not yet.” Refrain: Trying to stop a woman’s tears is like sending back the rain, trying to scare away the night or wish away the pain. You can battle with the darkness, but as surely as the dawn, a woman knows her tears are just the storm before the calm. 3rd Verse: So when you see my passion flowing from my knowing eyes, you can let me know you love me.  You can even ask me, “Why?” 4th Verse: But the answer’s in the landscape and the ever-changing skies and it’s in the space between us each time a woman cries.  Refrain
