Three or four miles down a red dirt road,
anand' a green-eyed girl anand' i used to go to see her.
iand'd pull up the drive anand' sheand'd jump in,
anand' weand'd head off down around the bend to the river.
find a perfect spot anand' throw a blanket on the ground:
sit there talkinand', till the sun went down, about nothinand'.
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 fallinand' down on us.)
oh, that sweet, (i still remember,)
sweet summer rain. (sweet rain fallinand' down on us.)
We were jumpinand' anand' a-runninand' anand' a-laughinand' 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 soakinand', singing along with elton, bennie and the jets.
she turned anand' looked my way,
those raindrops slowly runninand' down on her face.
i reached out anand' kissed her,
well, i remember that taste
Of that sweet, (i still remember,)
sweet summer rain. (sweet rain fallinand' down on us.)
oh, that sweet, (i still remember,)
sweet summer rain. (sweet rain fallinand' down on us.)
Sweet summer rain: it keeps blowinand' through my mind.
even after all this time,
i canand't forget that moment,
yeah, we were fallinand':
Just like that sweet, (i still remember,)
sweet summer rain. (sweet rain fallinand' down on us.)
yeah, that sweet, (i still remember,)
sweet summer rain. (sweet rain fallinand' down on us.)
Oh, that sweet, (i still remember,)
sweet summer rain. (sweet rain fallinand' down on us.)
yeah, that sweet, (i still remember,)
sweet summer rain. (sweet rain fallinand' down on us.)
(i still remember,)
(sweet rain fallinand' down on us.)
To fade.
