Sweet Summer Rain

Three or four miles down a red dirt road,

And a green-eyed girl and I used to go to see her.

I'd pull up the drive and she'd jump in,

Ans we'd head off down around the bend to the river.

Find a perfect spot and throw a blanket on the ground:

Sit there talking, till the sun went down, about nothing.

Then one hot day in June,

The clouds rolled in right out of the blue.

As we ran for cover, I could smell her perfume,

In that sweet, (I still remember,)

Sweet summer rain. (Sweet rain falling down on us.)

Oh, that sweet, (I still remember,)

Sweet summer rain. (Sweet rain fallingd own on us.)

We were jumping and a-running and a-laughing out loud.

The sky opened up like the bottom fell out of Heaven, yeah.

We dove in the car, turned the radio on,

Sat there soaking, singing along with Elton, Bennie And The Jets.

She turned ang looked my way,

Those raindrops slowly running down on her face.

I reached out and kissed her,

Well, I remember that taste

Of that sweet, (I still remember,)

Sweet summer rain. (Sweet rain falling down on us.)

Oh, that sweet, (I still remember,)

Sweet summer rain. (Sweet rain fallinf down on us.)

Sweet summer rain: it keeps blowing through my mind.

Even after all this time,

I can't forget that moment,

Yeah, we were falling.

Just like that sweet, (I still remember,)

Sweet summer rain. (Sweet rain falling down on us.)

Yeah, that sweet, (I still remember,)

Sweet summer rain. (Sweet rain falling down on us.)

Oh, that sweet, (I still remember,)

Sweet summer rain. (Sweet rain falling down on us.)

Yeah, that sweet, (I still remember,)

Sweet summer rain. (Sweet rain falling down on us.)

(I still remember,)

(Sweet rain falling down on us.)
