Lyrics
WHEN THE LIGHTNIN' STRIKES
WHEN I WAS LONELY, YOU TOOK ME IN.
I HAD NOBODY TO LOVE ME, THAT I COULD CALL FRIEND.
NO ONE TO WARM ME IN THE COLD , BITTER WIND.
THE CLOUDS SOON DEPARTED WHEN YOU WALKED IN.
OH, THE MEMORY COMES BACK TO ME AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN.
(ch)
JUST LIKE WHEN THE LIGHTNIN= STRIKES, YOUR LOVE GAVE ME A FRIGHT.
SO MUCH MORE THAN I BARGAINED FOR. I WALKED STRAIGHT THRU HEAVENS
DOOR. STANDING IN THE POURING RAIN, I SWEAR, I COULD HEAR ANGELS SING.
EVERY NOTE SO SWEET & CLEAR, THE ONLY SONG I EVER NEED TO HEAR.
NO, I DON'T THINK IT WILL EVER END. TELL ME, CAN YOU HEAR IT, FRIEND.
(instrumental)
YOUR LOVE JUST MELTS ME LIKE SUGAR IN RAIN.
WARM AS THE SWEET SUMMER SUNSHINE, YOU CAME BACK AGAIN.
YOU TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME, PLEASE, TELL ME AGAIN.
AT ONE TIME, WE PARTED. LETS TRY IT AGAIN.
'CAUSE, OH, THE MEMORY COMES BACK TO ME AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN.
(repeat ch)
