Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 just 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

Paul Revell Dear Paul - similar age, similar stuff to love and appreciate plus all the imported r&b and all the 60's stuff temptations,martha &&, otis redding, supremes, marvin gaye, wilson picket, solomon, etc, etc - they just knocked out good songs, rhythm and great voices right up to about end of 60's. I love a lot of early Ray (iwant a little girl, etc. plus rendition of ballads great - come rain, georgia, Ruby..... shame he never did stardust but then I can also go back to Artie Shaw and those wonderful swing bands of my dad's era. Loved the London pubs with all the groups, now household names ( max 7/6d old money to get in plus 3 light and bitters at less than 2 bob ( no measures so bitter near to the top and they gave you the light ale bottle)
Keep well and if poss please explain the degeneration into incessant repetitive rap, etc. and all the crazy over the top strangled warblings of Mariah Carey histrionics - why not sing the song like an Etta James in "at last" and all those old wonderful singers

P.S. I saw Ray at Finsbury Park Astoria a bit later than you - remember "the night time is the right time"

Genius. He used to all his own production, and when they asked why, he said 'cos if it don't work, there's no one else to blame'. What a guy.
@thomaswier5005
No one can sing it like Ray Charles
@Bilboswaggins2077
Better to be King for a night, than schmuck for a lifetime

The best version of this song by far. I just adore his voice. Miss him too, I cried so bad when he died. Rest in peace Ray. Your music will live on forever ♥

One day I'm going to start a family with a girl that's worth singing this song to and I honestly can't wait.
