Come Rain Or Come Shine
Norah Jones w/ Wynton Marsalis 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
And 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 ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true
If you let me, ooh

You're gonna love me
Like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together
Unhappy together
Now won't that be fine?

Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

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
It was just one of those things
Yeah, but don't ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true
If you let me, if you let me

Come rain or come shine
Happy together
Unhappy together
Now won't that be fine?

Now days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always, yeah honey
I'm with you always

I am with you always




I'm with you, baby
Rain or shine

Come Rain Or Come Shine
(Johnny Mercer / Harold Arlen)
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
他の誰もよりも私はあなたを愛する
Come rain or come shine
どんなことがあっても
High as a mountain
山のように高く
And deep as a river
川のように深くあなたを愛する
Come rain or come shine
何があろうとも
I guess when you met me
あなたは思ったかしら、私と出逢ったとき 
It was just one of those things
これは単なるひとつの出会いに過ぎないと 
But don't you ever bet me
でもそんな風に絶対思わないでね
'Cause I'm gonna be true
私はあなたへの愛を貫く
If you let me
あなたが私を受け入れてくれるなら

You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
他の誰もよりも私を愛してほしい 
Come rain or come shine
雨が降ろうと 晴れようとも
Happy together, unhappy together
幸も不幸も二人で分かち合いましょう
And won't that be fine
そんな人生も悪くないよね
Days may be cloudy or sunny
曇りの日もあれば、太陽眩しい日もあるよね
We're in or we're out of the money
お金だってあるときもあれば、無いときもある
But I'm with you always
だけど私はいつもあなたのそばにいるから
I'm with you
私はあなたのそばにいる
Rain or shine
どんなことがあろうとも...

Oh Norah... thanks for mixing this fantastic country style with jazz. what a great voice

@bassmonk2920

Ali Jackson - (drums) smiling face says it all. His smile speaks to me of gratitude and enthusiasm for being a musician and playing in one of the best gigs in the world.....

@blkgapmodel

12 years later. Still here listening to this classic rendition.

@zucchyni5851

Her voice is so recognizable

@alanlevin167

At the time this was recorded (2011) Nora was one of the few YOUNG vocalists to do this stuff. She learned alot from Bonnie Raitt about singing 'between the notes' and from the old jazzers about singing behind the beat. She also learned by being a very good musician. You can hear her on piano with (the late, great) Marion McPartland if you search for it. To me, this thread has moved to Europe since then, even Nora is doing pop. Search: Andrea Motis, Rita Payes, Alba Armengou and Joanna Casanova--all from Barcelona and prepare to be blown away! These girls all started at about age 16!

@jeanmarieallard5533

I totally agree with you, Barcelona is a nursery of fantastic musicians because there is a guy called Joan Chamorro who is the best teacher and also a good musician playing bass and all saxophones. Remember his name. You will see around him teenagers who play jazz in all styles, who know History of jazz, really fantastic.

@MrMusicguyma

Norah is massively talented singer. Jazz , country, popshe does them all supremely well. I look forward to what she will do in her career.

@reshiaminggia651
