(Oh)

A little rain again today,

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it

Right before my eyes.

(wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it)

But why talk about the weaher?

And make it very lucky selling umbrellas.

I've got my hard opinions

On how to treat a love like this.

He should've held her closer,

When it was all he had to do.

When it was all he had to prove

To all his closest friends that she was a bright and beaming light.

A beacon in the night.

I rest on a vision of the shoreline glistening,

The two of us in love.

(Ah)

Then the sun went down tonight

I wouldn't have believed it if

I hadn't seen it right in front of me

You painted the sky in a violet scene.

And I sat there in my car,

Shedding the tears that I could never have let you see.

Beneath that ashen moonlit sky,

I felt you right there with me.

I know you're right here with me

Step back, do it, fall in line and let it go

All you've got is the memory.

Should've held her closer,

When it was all he had to do.

When it was all he had to prove

To all his closest friends that she was a bright and beaming light,

A beacon in the night.

I rest on a vision of the shoreline glistening,

The two of us in love.

(the sun goes down!)

When the sun goes down tonight,

I set my eyes on a shoreline.

I'm gonna hold you closer,

As if it's all I have to do.

As if it's all I have to prove

To all my closest friends, that she was a bright and beaming light

A beacon in the night.

I rest on a vision of the two of us in love
