Devoted to You
Carly Simon & James Taylor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darlin' you can count on me
Till the sun dries up the sea
Until then I'll always be devoted to you

I'll be yours through endless time
I'll adore your charms sublime
Guess by now you know that I'm devoted to you
I'll never hurt you, I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue

Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so devoted to you

I'll never hurt you, I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue

Through the years my love will grow




Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so devoted to you

Much respect to two favorite
singer/songwriters of all time🌹♥️🌹 C’mon folks, just because they didn’t remain in an unhealthy marriage after 10 yrs doesn’t mean they weren’t devoted to one another. They were very much devoted. As human beings none of us are exempt from heartache & pain. They did what they thought was best at the time like all of us do. Life & relationships are ever changing and hopefully we’re all
evolving 💌 Peace 🕊

Hello beautiful, hope you are doing good?

Andrew Hanson

Yes, but maybe the drug usage had something to do with it falling apart?

Justt Faith

Well Said!
