[Verse]
She held my hand beneath the sky so wide
Her laughter echoed
I had nothing to hide,she something to hide
there’s a weight
A truth I can’t ignore I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain she whispered in my ear
She’s not mine to take
Yet I crave her more
[Chorus]
Let her fall out of my arms like the softest rain
Falling hard
I felt her love ,the lie she kept hid crashed down like purple rain
But not her pain my heart break strain
Had to let her go as the dove's cry
Though my heart did strain
Walked away so she’d never see the chain in the purple rain
[Verse 2]
We danced
Shadows played in candle glow
I saw her eyes
A place I shouldn’t go
Her love
So pure her lie hid in a romantic decor
Was meant for someone else
But I was caught
Tangled deep within myself I never wanted to be your weekend lover I wanted to be your everything I whispered in her ear as the dove's cried I walked away in the purple rain
[Chorus]
Let her fall out of my arms like the softest rain
Took my soul
But her love I couldn’t sustain
So I turned my back
Though my soul did wane
In her world
I could never remain
[Bridge]
Her voice
A melody that haunts my nights
Every note burns like fire in the dim light
Tears that fall for something that cannot be
She belongs to him
My heart’s only plea as she whispered in my ear I never ment to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain
[Verse 3]
Now I wander streets that call her name as the dove's cry in the purple rain
Every shadow dims
But the ache’s the same
I loved her more than the words could portray
But some stories end before the sunrise of day never wanted to be your weekend lover I wanted to be your everything when dove's cry in the purple rain I let her fall out of my arms like the softest rain falling as I walked away with a purple rain heartache
