[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain
[Chorus]
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you bathing in the purple rain
[Verse 2]
My only hope is to be your real friend
Even if we have to concede
Those sayings that there is no 'forever'
After many years
Even if that day comes
I hope to be thе one in your memory
Who was sincerе all the time
Let me be underneath this rain with you
Let me remember us after all
Even if I cannot reach you anymore
So that we could feel each other
Whenever it rains
To me the rain is going to be you
I hope you feel the same way
[Chorus]
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain
[Outro]
I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain
