09-Make You Feel My Love
Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you
Haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong
I'd go hungry
I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
No, there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change
Are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet
I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love
The lyrics in the song "Make You Feel My Love” by Adele represent a pledge of unconditional love to someone who is facing tough times. It can be interpreted in different ways, but one view of the song is that it is a message to a person who needs reassurance and support. When the world seems against them, the singer will be there to protect and comfort. The song opens by offering a warm hug to the person when the rain is pouring, emphasizing that the singer is always available to make the other person feel loved and supported.
The second verse addresses the person during the night when they feel lonely, and no one can comfort them except the singer. The line, “I could hold you for a million years”, emphasizes the longevity and the depth of the singer's love for the person. The chorus repeats twice throughout the song, making it a signature element that amplifies the song's theme of intense, devoted love. The third verse is about the singer’s commitment to stick with the person, even when the person is indecisive about their love. The singer is certain and knows that they have found their true love, hence the line "I’d go hungry, I’d go black and blue, I’d go crawling down the avenue."
The fourth and last verses describe how the singer is ready to face any challenges with the person, whether it is the “storms raging on the rolling sea”, or the “highway of regret.” The song concludes with the professed willingness of the singer to go to the ends of the earth for the person they love. The lyrics in the song are simple and direct, but they evoke a powerful message that connects with anyone who has experienced strong emotions of love or admiration for someone.
Line by Line Meaning
When the rain
When you are faced with tough times,
Is blowing in your face
And you feel like everything is going wrong,
And the whole world
And everyone is against you,
Is on your case
I am here to offer you a shoulder to lean on,
I could offer you
I can provide you with,
A warm embrace
Comfort and safety in my arms,
To make you feel my love
So that you can feel my genuine love for you.
When the evening shadows
When you are feeling lonely,
And the stars appear
And it seems like nobody cares about you,
And there is no one there
I promise to always be there,
To dry your tears
To comfort you and wipe away your tears,
I could hold you
I will embrace you,
For a million years
For as long as I live,
To make you feel my love
To show you just how much I care about you.
I know you
I'm aware that you,
Haven't made
Are uncertain and undecided,
Your mind up yet
And haven't fully committed to our relationship,
But I would never
I promise that I will not,
Do you wrong
Mistreat or hurt you in any way,
I've known it
I have been sure of it,
From the moment
Since the very second
That we met
I laid my eyes on you.
No doubt in my mind
I am certain and confident,
Where you belong
That you are the one for me.
I'd go hungry
I am willing to starve,
I'd go black and blue
Or get beaten up,
I'd go crawling
I am not afraid to humiliate myself,
Down the avenue
Just to be with you,
No, there's nothing
Absolutely nothing,
That I wouldn't do
That I'm not willing to do,
To make you feel my love
Just to make you feel the depth of my love for you.
The storms are raging
There may be chaos and hardships,
On the rolling sea
On the tumultuous sea of life,
And on the highway of regret
And the road of remorse may be ahead of us,
Though winds of change
As change may be inevitable,
Are throwing wild and free
And life continues to be unpredictable and uncontrollable,
You ain't seen nothing
You may not have experienced anything,
Like me yet
Like my unwavering love that is yet to be fully revealed.
I could make you happy
I have the ability to bring joy into your life,
Make your dreams come true
And make your aspirations and desires a reality,
Nothing that I wouldn't do
There is nothing that I wouldn't do to see you happy,
Go to the ends
I am willing to go to the very extremes,
Of the Earth for you
Even if it takes me travelling to the farthest ends of the earth,
To make you feel my love
Just to let you experience my profound love for you.

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
Oh, I hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue
And I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of this Earth for you
To make you feel my love, oh yes
To make you feel my love
