Intro:
The rain came down on the tin roof
Hardly a sound was left from the birthday party
The kitchen light
Fell asleep
On the bedroom floor
Me and her were talking softer
all the time
Before I lost her
Picture sat on the top
Of the chest of drawers
Chorus:
One red rose in a Bible
Pressed between a Holy alphabet
Probably wouldn t believe you
If you told me
But what I never knew
I never will forget
Rainy nights get dark real early
Her dress was soft
her hair was curly
We danced around the table
To the old banjo
Rainy nights were made for lovers
We lay there still
Beneath the covers
And I ain t never felt
Like that before
(Repeat Chorus)
