I never meant to cause you sorrow, I never meant to cause you pain.
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field and don’t notice it.
I only wanted to see you laughing, to see you laughing in that purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain.
Let me guide you to the purple rain.
There’s one thing I know: The blues they send to meet me
won’t defeat me.
I know times are changing and it’s time we all reach for something new.
Trying to do without Him is a strain.
Oh raindrops keep falling on my head but that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red.
Let me guide you to the purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain.
I believe God is in everything.
Everything that ever was or ever will be.
I’m never gonna stop the rain by complaining.
I only want to see you dancing in that purple rain.
Purple rain, Purple rain.
