Lyrics Purple Rain (Live at Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NY - 04/23/16) - Bruce Springsteen

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to see you laughing
Only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted 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
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know times are changin'
It's time we all reach out for something new
That means you too
You say you want a leader, but you can't make up your mind
I think you better close it
Let me guide you darling to the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain
