November Rain (Piano Version / 1986 Sound City Session) Lyrics
[Spoken Word: Axl Rose & [?]]
Ah, take the glasses off, man
Rolling
Cool
[Instrumental Intro]
[Intro]
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)
[Verse 1]
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
But when I’m holdin’ you
Don’t you know I feel the same? (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
[Chorus]
But nothin’ lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
‘Cause it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
[Verse 2]
We’ve been through this such a long, long time
Just tryin’ ta kill the pain (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
Mh, yeah
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one’s really sure who’s lettin’ go today (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
Walkin’ away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head, just knowin’ that you were mine (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
All mine
[Chorus]
So, if you want to love me
Then, darlin’, don’t refrain (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
Or I’ll just end up walkin’
In the cold November rain (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
[Refrain]
Do you need some time on your own?
Do you need some time all alone?
Everybody needs some time on their own
Ooh, don’t you know you need some time all alone?
[Bridge]
I know it’s hard to keep an open heart, ooh
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn’t time be out to charm you? (Time charm you) Oh-oh-oh
(Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
(Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
[Piano Solo]
[Instrumental Break]
(Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
(Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
[Verse 2]
We been through this such a long, long time
Just tryin’ ta kill the pain (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
Mh, yeah
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one’s really sure who’s lettin’ go today (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
Walkin’ away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head, just knowin’ that you were mine (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
All mine
[Chorus]
So, if you wanna love me
Then, darlin’, don’t refrain (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
Or I’ll just end up walkin’
In the cold November rain (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
[Bridge]
Said I’ll just keep on walkin’
Ooh, again, and again, and again, and again
(Again, and again, and again, and again, and again)
And I know, I’ll just keep on walkin’
Ooh, again, and again, and again, and again
(Again, and again, and again, and again, and again)
Ooh, yeah
[Chorus]
So, if you want to love me
Then, darlin’, don’t refrain
Or I’ll just keep on walkin’
In the cold November rain
