Purple Rain [Live in Dortmund, 1988] Lyrics

Never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I-I only wanted one time to see you laughing
Only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain

(Purple rain, purple rain) Thank you, Europe!
(Purple rain, purple rain) Yes!
Purple rain, purple rain
We feel good tonight?
Only want to see you
Laughin', see you, see you, yeah-eah in the purple rain

Everybody sing it now
Everybody singin' now

Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
Two, three

One time to remember
One time to remember

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
