Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as mountain
And deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
But don't even bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true
If you let me, ooh
You're gonna love me
Like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together
Unhappy together
Now won't that be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
Come rain or come shine
High as mountain
And deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
Well, I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
Yeah, but don't ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true
If you let me, if you let me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together
Unhappy together
Now won't that be fine?
Now days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always, yeah honey
I'm with you always
I am with you always
I'm with you, baby
Rain or shine
