Verse 1
I was playing the bar rooms
Your friends dragged you out to see the show
Saw my whole world for the first time when I saw you
It took me all night to say hello
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 trying to get by
And I can’t keep my hands off the bottle
The sun 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 sending 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 2
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
Now I’m working long hours just trying to get by
And I can’t keep my hands off the bottle
The sun 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 sending 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
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
