I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new
That means you too
You say you want a leader
But u can't seem to make up your mind
I think u better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon raise your hand

Purple rain Purple rain

I only want to see you, only want to see you
In the purple rain

To fight the battle between darkness and light
There he is sitting all alone ...
He found the starry sky one night, a secret he will keep

There is a house next to the station
It's not abandoned anymore
You see the lights up at the station
Somebody's living there for sure
No one's ever stayed inside up there till dawn arrives

There was some damage to the spacecraft
So now they're stuck in outer space
Something went wrong down at the lift-off
Two billion miles or more away
"We'll send another capsule
so they may be back in June ... "

He lit a candle from the fireplace
Sat on the floor and watched it breathe
See the Lightkeeper finally found his place
And he won't rise, won't fall asleep

Our lives are lying there before us, awaiting
So many ways to make it right
And still they're all the same to me
These stars all look the same

And still they're all the same to me
These days are all the same

I've called you now a thousand times
I think I know now
You're not home
I've said your name a thousand times
To be prepared if you'd be there

I wanted so to have you
And I wanted you to know
I wanted to write songs
About how we're walking in the snow

You've got me slightly disappointed
Just a bit and just enough
To keep me up another night
Waiting for another day

The city's taking a day off
The streets are empty
No one's out tonight
My life is in another's hands

I wanted so to have you
And I wanted you to know
I wanted to write songs
About how we're walking in the snow

But there's no snow this winter
There's no words for what I feel for you
It's not enough
Though it's too much
Why must it always be like that?

The TV screen is lighting up my room
The film has ended
Every inch of my skin is crying for your hands

And I wanted so to have you
And I wanted you to know
I wanted to write songs
About how we're walking in the snow

You've got me slightly disappointed
Just a bit and just enough
To keep me up another night
Waiting for another day

sailing I am sailing
home again cross the sea
I am sailing stormy waters
to be near you to be free
I am sailing I am sailing
home again cross the sea
I am sailing I am sailing
stormy waters to be free

sailing I am sailing
home again cross the sea
I am sailing stormy waters
to be near you to be free
I am sailing I am sailing
home again cross the sea
I am sailing I am sailing
stormy waters to be free

I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair
Born like a vapor on the summer air
I see her tripping where the bright streams play
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way.
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour,
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er

I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair
Floating like a vapor on the soft, summer air.

I long for Jeanie with the daydawn smile,
Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile,
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by,
Sighing 'round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,



Wailing for the lost one that comes not again.

I long for Jeanie with my heart boys low,
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow.

I sigh for Jeanie, but her light form strayed
Far from the fond hearts 'round her native glade;
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown,
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone,
Now the nodding wild flow'rs may wither on the shore
While her gentle fingers will cull them no more

Oh! I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air.

Love hurts love scars love wounds and mars
any heart not tough nor strong enough
to take a lot of pain take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain.
Love Hurts uh - uh Love Hurts.

I'm young I know but even so
I know a thing or two I've learned from you
I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a stove burns you when it's hot
Love Hurts Uh - Uh Love hurts.

Some fools rave of happiness blissfullness togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess, but they're not fooling me
I know it isn't true, no it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts Uh - uh love hurts.

Look down - look down
That lonesome road
(Lay down your head and cry)
Before you travel on

Look up - look up
And seek your maker
Before (Mr.) Gabriel blows his horn

(I'm) Weary (of) toting - such a (heavy) load
Trudging down - the (that) lonesome road

Look down - look down
That lonesome road
Before (before) you travel on

True love - true love
What have I done
That you should treat me so

You - caused me
To walk and talk
Like I never did before

(I'm) Weary (of) toting - such a (heavy) load
Trudging down - the (that) lonesome road

Look down - look down (look down - look down)
That lonesome road
Before (before) you (decide to) travel on

Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight from some
old fashioned book
I have saved all my
ribbons for thee
If I've been unkind
Please just let it go by
If I've been untrue
It was never to you
Like a baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I've torn everyone
who reached out for me
If I've been unkind
If I've been untrue
But I swear by this song
And by all that I've done wrong
I will make it all up to thee
unkind untrue
It was never to you

If I listen long enough to you,
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true.

Knowing, that you lied, straight-faced, while I cried.
Still I look to find a reason to believe.


Someone like you makes it easy to give from myself
Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else

If I gave you time to change my mind,
I'd find a way to leave the past behind.
If I listen long enough to you,
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true.

Knowing, that you lied, straight-faced, while I cried.
Still I look to find a reason to believe.

Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give in everything about myself.

I came so far for beauty
I left so much behind
My patience and my family
My masterpiece unsigned

I thought I'd be rewarded
For such a lonely choice
And surely she would answer
To such a very hopeless voice

I practiced all my sainthood
I gave to one and all
But the rumours of my virtue
They moved her not at all

I changed my style to silver
I changed my clothes to black
And where I would surrender
Now I would attack

I stormed the old casino
For the money and the flesh
And I myself decided
What was rotten and what was fresh

And men to do my bidding
And broken bones to teach
The value of my pardon
The shadow of my reach

But no, I could not touch her
With such a heavy hand
Her star beyond my order
Her nakedness unmanned

Come to me my love
Come back to me
To me my love
Come to me

People are strange
When you're a stranger
Faces look ugly
When you're alone
Women seem wicked
When you're unwanted
Streets are uneven
When you're down


When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange

When I walk through that door
Baby be polite
You're gonna make me sore
If you don't treat me right
Don't you ever kiss me once, kiss me twice
Treat me nice

I know that you've been told
It's not fair to tease
But if you come on cold
I'm really gonna freeze
If you don't want me to be cold as ice
Treat me nice

Make me feel at home
If you really care
Scratch my back and run your pretty
Fingers through my hair
Treat me nice

You know I'll be your slave
if you ask me to
But if you don't behave
I'll walk right out on you
If you want my love at least take my advice
And treat me nice

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain
