Sweet Summer Rain

[Verse 1]
I was playing the bar rooms
Your friends dragged you out to see the show
I saw my whole world for the first time when I saw you
It took me all night to say hello, oh

[Verse 2]
We got married in the Summer
You shown brighter than the desert sun
But then it poured down as if the whole world had prayed for water
Did the heavens open up for you to come?

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm working long hours just tryna get by
And I can't keep my hands off the bottle
The thunder rolls up and brings tears to the sky
And I can't keep from hitting the bottom

[Chorus]
If God had mercy on my heart
He'd stop sendin' the sweet summer rain
He'd help me fight the memories
From the start
That remind me of you in those days
'Cause when I feel the sweet summer rain
I lose you all over again

[Verse 3]
I still go to see your mother
She says "Son, you've gotta move on"
"I know this world don't look as bright without my daughter"
"But they did everything they could've done"

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm still working long hours just tryna get by
And I can't keep my hands off the bottle
The thunder rolls up and brings tears to the sky
And I can't keep from hitting the bottom

[Chorus]
If God had mercy on my heart
He'd stop sendin' the sweet summer rain
He'd help me fight the memories
From the start
That remind me of you in those days

[Outro]
He'd tell me
One day soon you will be alright
I have got you, my son
You've just got to hold on
But it's been years and I ain't seen the light
And when I feel the sweet summer rain
I lose you all over again
I lose you all over again
I can't lose you all over again, oh
