[Verse 1]
The screen door still swings in the evening breeze,
Your old blue truck ain't parked beneath those trees.
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a faded picture tucked inside my dash,
Holding onto forever that disappeared too fast.
Everybody says the hurt will fade with time,
But this old heart still runs a mile behind.
[Chorus]
You were gone like summer rain,
Falling hard then slipping away.
One minute you were dancing in my arms,
Next minute I was holding broken stars.
Now every sunset wears your name,
Every highway looks the same.
You left this cowboy standing in the pouring pain,
Gone... like summer rain.
(Soft growl)
Yeah... Mmm...
[Verse 2]
I poured another coffee in your favorite cup,
Guess old habits don't know when to give up.
Your boots ain't by the doorway anymore,
But I still catch myself listening for that screen door.
The cornfields whisper every time the wind blows by,
Like they're telling me your goodbye.
I still hear your laughter riding on that southern breeze,
But all that's left is silence talking back to me.
I'm just trying to figure out how.
Cause every little memory falls like thunder in my mind,
Leaving one more piece of us behind.
[Pre-Chorus]
The clouds keep rolling across these open skies,
Just like the tears I can't disguise,
Mama says forgiveness finds us all somehow.
[Chorus]
You were gone like summer rain,
Falling hard then slipping away.
You kissed my soul then disappeared,
Leaving echoes ringing in my ears.
Now every lightning flash reminds me,
Love can leave without a warning.
You left this cowboy calling out your name,
Gone... like summer rain.
(Ad libs/High notes)
Whoa... Oh-oh, yeah!..
[Bridge]
If tomorrow brings another sunrise,
Maybe healing finally finds these tired eyes.
But tonight your shadow's dancing in the moonlight again,
Like a dream I can't outrun.
(Falsetto/Soft growl)
"I still... love... you..." Even when the sky turns blue...
Your love still falls the same.
If heaven's got a front porch waiting somewhere beyond the pain,
Save a seat beside you till I call your name.
Until that day I'll weather every storm that came,
[Outro]
The clouds keep drifting...
The fields stay green...
Some loves don't disappear...
They just become the rain.
(Soft ad libs: "Mmm...", "Come back...", "Summer rain...", "I still believe...")
