I'm gonna love you
Like no one'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 ever bet me
Cause I'm gonna be true
If you'll let me.

You're gonna love me
Like nobody's loved me,
Come rain or come shine.
Happy together,
Unhappy together,
And won't it be fine?

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

I'm gonna love you,
Like nobody's loved you,
Come rain or come shine.
Happy together,
Unhappy together,
And won't it be fine?

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