Come Rain Or Come Shine
Dr. John 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, 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 you 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
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be fine

The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or out of the money




But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

Overall Meaning

In Dr. John's rendition of "Come Rain or Come Shine," the lyrics articulate a deep and unwavering love. The first two lines express a level of love that "nobody's loved you" before, regardless of the circumstances: "Come rain or come shine." The next two lines amplify this idea by comparing the depth and steadfastness of this love to natural entities -- "High as a mountain, deep as a river."


The lyric that follows delves into the moment the relationship began: "I guess when you met me / It was just one of those things." However, the singer makes it clear that he will not take this relationship for granted: "But don't you ever bet me / Cause I'm gonna' be true if you let me."
