The Song they Made a Movie about...
'Love, Reign O'er Me' by The Who is often considered one of the greatest exhibitions of rock vocals ever. Roger Daltrey's haunting cries to lyrics written by the famed Pete Townshend will send shivers up anyone's spine. 'Love, Reign O'er Me' was the inspiration for a major 2007 Motion Picture starring Adam Sandler, Reign Over Me.

Love, Reign O'er Me by The Who
Chorus
Love
Reign o'er me
Rain on me
Rain on me
Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach
Is kissed by the sea
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Layin' in the fields
Love
Reign o'er me
Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn
To the sky
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears
From all high
Chorus
Chorus
On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spent apart alone
I need to get back home
To cool cool rain
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Woo Oh God I need a drink
Of cool cool rain
Chorus
Love
Reign o'er me
On me
Love...
Chorus
Love
Reign o'er me
Rain on me
Rain on me
Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach
Is kissed by the sea
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Layin' in the fields
Love
Reign o'er me
Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn
To the sky
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears
From all high
Chorus
Chorus
On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spent apart alone
I need to get back home
To cool cool rain
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Woo Oh God I need a drink
Of cool cool rain
Chorus
Love
Reign o'er me
On me
Love...
