Purple Rain
Arjun Kaul Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 want to see you
Laughing in the purple rain purple rain,
Purple rain I only want 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 to end purple rain,
Purple rain I only want 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 too
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 into the purple rain purple

Rain, purple rain I only want to see
You, only want to see you in the purple rain
