It was cold that night and them downtown lights
Just wasn't, shinin' like they used to
Back when all we needed was each other
You took my hand said boy I gotta say it and
I knew that it would break me
When you looked in mine with those pretty brown eyes
And left me shakin
Here comes the flood here comes the pain
In a Memphis Rain, In a Memphis Rain
You let go of the hand that I begged you to take
In a Memphis Rain, In a Memphis Rain
My Mississippi girl she took her love away
I remember when on the night we met
Your suntan skin and the very first kiss
I though from here it could only get better
But seasons change and love does too
It's the sun in the day at night it's the moon
Now I love you so much I wish I never met ya
Here comes the flood here comes the pain
In a Memphis Rain, In a Memphis Rain
You let go of the hand that I begged you to take
In a Memphis Rain, In a Memphis Rain
My Mississippi girl she took her love away
In a Memphis Rain, In a Memphis Rain
You let go of the hand that I begged you to take
In a Memphis Rain, In a Memphis Rain
My Mississippi girl she took her love away
