Come Rain Or Come Shine
Billie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me

You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it 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

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me

You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money

But I'll love you always




I'm with you rain or shine
Rain or shine

I was listening to other versions of this song but when I heard Billie Holiday sing it I got the chills! Her voice rings true and her singing seems so personal like she's baring her soul.

@SamMatt79

My father taught me about Ms Holiday. He taught me to think of her voice as a musical instrument. She heard music so well. Perfection. This is true talent and true artistry.

@cindyfloyd8381

My father did the same my father played the drums. There was always music bein played 24/7 in our 🏠. I always taught how to dance to this era. She rips ur heart out w/lost luv or keep in her man kno matter what. This era is bygone that we keep alive for futur generations I hope. Luv ya babyboomers..

I just love the raspiness of her voice. It reminds me of a pomegranate. Sweet, and seedy.
