Come Rain Or Come Shine
Clapton Eric (& B.B. King) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come rain or come shine.
High as a mountain and deep as a river,
Come rain or come shine.
Well I guess when you met me
That it was just one of those things,
But don't you ever bet me,
You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me,
Come rain or come shine.
Happy together, unhappy together,
Won't that be fine?
Day may be cloudy or sunny,
We're either in or we're out of the money.
I'm with you always.
I'm with you rain or shine.
You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me,
Come rain or come shine.
Happy together, unhappy together,
Won't that be fine?
Day may be cloudy or sunny,
We're either in or we're out of the money.
I'm with you always.
I'm with you rain or shine.
I'm with you always.
I'm with you rain or shine.
In this song, "Come Rain or Come Shine," Eric Clapton and B.B. King express their commitment to their significant other, promising to love them regardless of the circumstances. The first stanza sets the tone for the song, with Clapton singing, "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." This portrays an unwavering love that will endure even the toughest times.
The second stanza describes the beginning of their relationship, with Clapton singing, "Well I guess when you met me, that it was just one of those things. But don't you ever bet me, 'cause I'm gonna be true if you let me." It acknowledges that sometimes relationships start out as chance encounters, but Clapton is promising to be faithful if given the opportunity.
The final two stanzas reiterate the commitment from the first, with King joining in to sing, "You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me, come rain or come shine. Happy together, unhappy together, won't that be fine?" This is a beautiful promise of commitment, stating that they will be there for their partner through thick and thin, whether happy or not.

Didnt really get Mr. Clapton before I heard this song. I go for voices first. So, this did it for me. I can really hear him on this. Could be because I am half deaf😊 He shines in this even with the legend BB beside him. I dont know anything about guitars but I love them❤ Just listened to Ray Charles version, they really increased the value of this song. Like all the greats!
Thank You Guys for this track x
