Prayin' For Rain

I remember when we fell in love, and it seemed so right
Passion burning deep into the night
We struggled to get by, but you were always by my side
Standin' in the middle of the fire
Your love was like the rain, pourin' down on me
Bringin' me cool comfort, in my greatest time of need
But now you're gone and I know things, will never be the same
Try and try, I just can't put out this flame
Now I'm prayin' for rain... I'm prayin' for rain...
Come and wash away this heartache, come and take away my pain
And I'm prayin' for rain... I'm prayin' for rain...
Burnin' up down memory lane, and I'm prayin' for rain

Well, I asked my mirror for some help, I said look at what I've done
Pictures of her in my mind, burnin' up in the mid-day sun
Shattered dreams and a broken heart, to me it's all the same
Lightning strikes my memory, and I wake up screamin' your name
I'm prayin' for rain... I'm prayin' for rain...
Come and wash away this heartache, come and take away my pain
And I'm prayin' for rain... I'm prayin' for rain...
Burnin' up down memory lane, and I'm prayin' for rain

The sun goes down on memories, and I can feel the embers burn
For a love that's gone and may never return
I look back now on years gone by, and I'm trying to explain
But I find myself down on my knees, I swear this love's in vain

I'm prayin' for rain... I'm prayin' for rain...
Come and wash away this heartache, come and take away my pain
And I'm prayin' for rain... I'm prayin' for rain...
Burnin' up down memory lane, and I'm prayin' for rain
And I'm prayin' for rain... I'm prayin' for rain...
I'm burnin' up down memory lane, and I'm prayin' for rain
