C
Walking alone, down the darkened street,
Em
Neon lights reflecting off the wet concrete.
Am
Could you remember, the love we used to share?

One last night in the rain, I wish you were here.

I’m dancing in the shadows, with your ghost in the rain,

One last night, to relive our pain.

The echoes of our laughter, still ring in my ears,
Em
Lost in the silence, I’m drowning in tears.
Am
Every raindrop holds, a memory so clear,

Our love was a tempest, tangled and wild,
Em
But it faded away, like a forgotten child.

I’m dancing in the shadows, with your ghost in the rain,
F
One last night, to feel that pain.

Beneath the starless sky, I whisper your name,

One last night in the rain, nothing’s the same.

Our love was a story, now washed with the rain,

One more night, I’d feel that pain.
