Prince: Purple Rain

This song from the movie with the same name released in 06/84, a movie that was number one that year and so was the single and the album for this song. Considered by many as one of the greatest song of the 80's (not by me though). It also won the Academy Awards of best movie song for 1984. The following video is from a live show in Tokyo,Japan.



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

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

I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain

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 2 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 to
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you 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
