"MAGIC SAM GETS HIS WISH"
(words and music by Joshua Cook)
When I first saw you, Anastasia,
I couldn't see your eyes,
Ignore your situation, or
Let you pass me by
Without saying hi.
But by the time I turned around,
You were already gone;
I ran all over town, and I
Sang a long lost song —
I hope you sing along.
And,
Give me your love,
Give me your love,
Let it rain on me.
Let it rain on me.
If you think I'm a lonely traveler, who
Hasn't got a plan, well
Take a closer look, and you'll
See I'm just a man
Who's doin' the best I can (yes, I am).
Because life is like an ocean,
Rollin' like a wave, with
Everything in motion, you
Can't tell the night from the day,
But maybe that's okay.
And,
Give me your love,
Give me your love,
Let it rain on me.
Let it rain on me.
All the world,
Well it feels so cold when you been lonely;
All I want
Is for you to show me what you know, and
Help me stand, and
Please! Please! Please!
Hold me by the hand.
Come on and hold me by the hand.
My darlin' please,
Hold me by the hand.
Give me your love,
Give me your love,
Let it rain on me.
Let it rain on me.
Now I made my choice
For to call you through the distance
Through the white noise
And I hope that you get this.
When I raise my voice
To deliver this message:
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
I wanna show how strong my love is!
I wanna show how strong my love is!
I wanna show how strong my love is!
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
And,
Give me your love,
Give me your love,
Let it rain on me.
Let it rain on me.
