Morning Coffee Break - Prince

Does this one even need an introduction?  A game changer in music, Prince, is one of my top 5 artists of all time.  Today’s song is none other than “Purple Rain”.  The last time he was in Pittsburgh was during his Musicology tour back in 2004.  It speak volumes for an iconic musician when he decides to give his album to every fan that entered the arena that day as a “thank you” for coming to the show. Goodness, I remember searching for a purple shirt for 2 whole days just to wear to this concert.  His finished the night with this last song, “Purple Rain”.  

Prince: “Purple Rain”, Purple Rain

I never meant to cause you any sorrow.
I never meant to cause you any pain.
I only wanted to one time see you laughing.
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain.

Purple rain, Purple rain
Purple rain, Purple rain
Purple rain, Purple rain

I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain.

I never wanted to be your weekend lover.
I only wanted to be some kind of friend.
Baby I could never steal you from another.
It's such a shame our friendship had to end.

Purple rain, Purple rain
Purple rain, Purple rain
Purple rain, Purple rain

I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain.

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing.
It's time we all reach out for something new,
That means you too.
You say you want a leader,
But you can't seem to make up your mind.
I think you better close it,
And let me guide you to the purple rain.

Purple rain, Purple rain
Purple rain, Purple rain

If you know what I'm singing about up here.
C'mon raise your hand.

Purple rain, Purple rain

I only want to see you, only want to see you.
