Make You Feel My Love
Bob Dylan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When evening shadows 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
And oh, 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
Nothing that I wouldn't do




Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

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

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

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

Darryl Corp

His voice is part of the appeal.

Monty MontaƱo

And don't forget his melodies. He's has created so many Ina variety of styles. This song is illustrative of his range as a tunesmith.

Zack Zallie

His voice really made up his lyrics. If his voice is in a right tune, it would be boring.

John Bismarck

The best voice is always the songwriter's. It's just as beautiful as the words, your loss if you don't get that. If you do get that, he makes you feel his words.
