REBECCA IN THE RAIN (Skibbe, Elliott)

I was driving home from college on highway 62
The color of that Texas sky was anything but blue
Out on the gray horizon she was standing by the road
Her summer dress soaking wet like it was painted on

She stopped my heart, I stopped my car
Driving one more inch would have been one inch too far
It must have been my lucky day
I have felt another’s touch
Been moved by the true power of love
But it’s never been like Rebecca in the rain

She climbed in beside me, said you stopped just in time
I asked where she was going, she said anywhere’s just fine
There were raindrops on the windshield, thunder in the air
Flash of lightning in her eyes, the storm in her hair

She stopped my heart, I stopped my car
Driving one more inch would have been one inch too far
It must have been my lucky day
I have felt another’s touch
Been moved by the true power of love
But it’s never been like Rebecca in the rain

We rode that Texas flood together
A summer storm might come on strong
But it won’t last forever

Sometimes on that gray horizon
I swear I still see her there
Her summer dress still soaking wet
The storm still in her hair

It stops my heart, I stop my car
Driving one more inch might be one inch too far
This could be my lucky day
I have felt another’s touch
Been moved by the true power of love
But it’s never been like Rebecca in the rain
It’s never been like Rebecca
In the rain
Oh, Rebecca
Rebecca in the rain
Sweet Rebecca
Rebecca in the rain
No, it’s never been like Rebecca in the rain
