I remember the drive,
we were flying down that coast line,
moon up above.
There were fires blazing,
we were racing,
it was beautiful.
As I recall they said,
hundreds died that night,
but you and I that night,
we were making love
like the sun would never come up,
it was beautiful.
And the seas wash away
the ends of the earth,
President say,
"It's raining God's fire."
And the seas wash away,
the ends of the earth,
news man say, yes he did,
"It's raining God's fire."
and it rains, oh but let it rain.
I remember the break,
we were sittin on both sides
of that widening valley.
As the earth gave way
i thought i heard you say it was,
beautiful.
So now i'm falling for you,
just trying to keep up with you
into the darkness below.
Lights are fading,
but i see your face
and it's, beautiful.
(chorus)
And it rains.
If we don't survive,
I will cherish my short time.
Cause just to know your smile,
it was beautiful.
If the Earth has to go,
I wan't you to know,
that in my life,
you were the most
beautiful.
I said in my life,
oh you were the most,
Beautiful.
