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
