Intro:
Verse 1:
You never see it coming
It happens all of a sudden
and when it finally hits you, it's too late
he just sat there in silence
On his own private island
I wasn't ready for the storm about to break
Yesterday, there was no trace of trouble
Now he's given up more than I can take
chorus:
he said hold on tight
It's gonna be a heck of a night
especially when you hear what I've got to say
and when he said, I don't love you
The first tear broke through
Now it's comin' down like a Tennessee rain
Verse 2:
Nobody told me
and nobody showed me
What to do when the story turns out wrong
Or how a heart does its mending
Without the perfect ending
The one I always thought would come along
he had his own ideas of where this love was going
he wasn't leaving it up to the hands of fate
chorus:
he just said hold on tight
It's gonna be a heck of a night
especially when you hear what I've got to say
and when he said, I don't love you
The first tear broke through
Now it's comin' down like a Tennessee rain
Interlude:
chorus:
he said hold on tight
It's gonna be a heck of a night
especially when you hear what I've got to say
and when he said, I don't love you
The first tear broke through
Now it's comin' down like a Tennessee rain
It’s coming down harder than a Tennessee rain
