Purple rain drops, spotted flowers

Since I met you, I can't forget you

Oh, what am I gonna do?
Ooh, what am I gonna do?
[Outro]
Purple rain drops (Rain drops), spotted flowers (Flowers)
I've daydreamed for hours and hours and hours and hours
Purple raindrops (Rain drops), spotted flowers (Flowers)
And let me tell ya I've daydreamed for hours and hours and hours and hours
Purple Rain Drops was written by Ted Hull.
Purple Rain Drops was produced by Clarence Paul.
