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

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby, 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, purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain, purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new, and that means you too
You say you want a leave, but you can't seem to make up your mind
I think I'm gonna close it and let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain, purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain, purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain, purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain
