I WILL LOVE YOU THOUGH IT RAINS

I WILL LOVE YOU THOUGH IT RAINS

Sweet love, you are the brightest star to ever fall into my life
And your care has warmed and softened my long and lonely nights.

And our love has opened like the petals of a flower beneath a caring sun,
And I will love you though it rains, though storms are sure to come.

When the workaday world forsakes you, when clouds obscure the view.
When friends seem cold and distant and your days turn misty blue.

I will love you though it snows and bends the trees, covered in their ice.
I will love you when it hurts, and when loving you feels nice.
I will love you when the world turns vicious and hurls its fiercest darts.
I will love you strong, right or wrong, with all the passion in my heart.

Sweet love, you are the brightest moon to ever light my way,
You awoke my sleeping inner child and called him out to play.

And I will love you though the earth it quakes,
Though my steps turn slower and my hands may shake.

I will love you through the trips to Paris, Frisco and the beach.
I will love you when the money’s gone and the trips fall out of reach.

And I will love you though it rains and your eyes they fill with tears.
I will love you through the gains and through the losses, through the years.
And I will stand so proud of you, of all you say and all you do.
I will hold you when your world turns dark and all you know is fear.
I will love you when the floods arise and wash against the hemisphere.

Sweet love, I hold you in my life and in my death and in my dreams,
Through light, through dark, through black, through white,
and all the colors in between.
