Three or four miles down a red dirt road Lived a green-eyed girl and I used to go to see her I'd pull up the drive and she'd jump in And we'd head off down around the bend to the river Find a perfect spot and throw a blanket down on the ground Sit there talkin' 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 and that (CHORUS) Sweet (I still remember) Sweet summer rain (sweet rain fallin' down on us) Oh, that sweet (I still remember) Sweet summer rain (sweet rain fallin' down on us) We were jumpin' and runnin' and laughin' 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 soakin', singing along with Elton, "Bennie And The Jets" She turned my way
Those raindrops slowly runnin' 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 fallin' down on us) Oh, that sweet (I still remember) Sweet summer rain (sweet rain fallin' down on us) That sweet summer rain It keeps blowin' through my mind Even after all this time I can't forget that moment we were falling Just like that Sweet (I still remember) Sweet summer rain (sweet rain fallin' down on us) Oh, that sweet (I still remember) Sweet summer rain (sweet rain fallin' down on us) Sweet (I still remember) Sweet summer rain (sweet rain fallin' down on us) Oh, that sweet (I still remember) Sweet summer rain (sweet rain fallin' down on us) I still remember Sweet rain fallin' down on us (FADE)
