Glenn Alan Medeiros (born June 24, 1970) is an American singer and songwriter of Portuguese descent who achieved chart success in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He is best known for his 1987 global smash, "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You".
After his musical career he taught and was vice-principal at the Maryknoll School, a parochial school in his native Honolulu, Hawaii. On July 1, 2015, Medeiros became the president of Saint Louis School in Honolulu.
Medeiros began his musical career at the age of 10 when he helped his father entertain guests on his tour bus on the island of Kauai. In 1986, at the age of 16, Medeiros won a local radio talent contest in Hawaii when he performed a cover version of George Benson's "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You" which was subsequently produced into an album by a small local independent label. A visiting radio executive, Guy Zapoleon, from KZZP in Phoenix, Arizona heard the song and took the record back to Phoenix, where, through word of mouth, it became a national hit. Later, a worldwide hit, it reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent four weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart in July 1988. It reached #3 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart.
On a rainy night I saw you
With someone on your arm
You laughed the way we used to
And I felt it cut my heart
I pretended not to notice
The way you looked in his eyes
But it hurts me to realize
That I can't hold you
Just like rain
I fall for you
And like these tears I cannot hide
The sky is crying too
I'd seen your face
And just like rain
I fall for you
You always told me
Our love would never die
Now it's too late for me
To see that you were right
I should have told you
How much I loved you
When you needed me to
Now here you are with someone else
And I can't hold you
Just like rain
I fall for you
And I wonder if you know
How much I miss you now
I hear your name
And just like rain
I fall for you
If I told you now
That I couldn't stand the pain
Of living without you
Would you stop the rain?
Instrumental sax solo
I hear your name
Like the tears on my face
I fall for you
(Just like rain)
Just like rain
Like rain
Ooh-oo-oooh-oo-oooh
Just like rain
