Can You Stand the Rain
Enduring Love: Weathering Life's Storms Together
Lyrics
On a perfect day
Reflecting on a perfect day
I know that I can count on you
Expressing confidence in relying on a specific person
When that's not possible
Acknowledging situations where reliance is challenging
Tell me can you weather the storm
Asking if the person can endure difficulties
Cause I need somebody who will stand by me
Desiring someone to support through thick and thin
Through the good times and bad
Commitment to being there in both joyful and challenging times
She will always, always be right there
Emphasizing unwavering presence
Sunny days
Transitioning to positive imagery of sunny days
Everybody loves them
General appreciation for good times
Tell me
Seeking confirmation
Can you stand the rain
Repeating the question, "Can you stand the rain?"
Storms will come
Acknowledging the inevitability of challenges
This we know for sure
Emphasizing certainty about facing storms
Can you stand the rain
Repeating the question, "Can you stand the rain?"
Love unconditional
Highlighting the importance of unconditional love
I'm not asking this of you
Clarifying that certain demands are not made
We've got to make it last
Stressing the need to make the relationship endure
I'll do whatever needs to be done
Commitment to doing whatever it takes
Cause I need somebody who will stand by me
Reiterating the need for steadfast support
Through the good times and bad times
Commitment to enduring both good and bad times
She will always, always be right there
Reaffirming constant presence in all situations
Sunny days
Returning to the imagery of sunny days
Everybody loves them
Reiterating general love for enjoyable moments
Tell me
Asking again, "Can you stand the rain?"
Can you stand the rain
Repeating the question, "Can you stand the rain?"
Storms will come
Emphasizing the certainty of facing storms
This we know for sure
Reiterating the inevitability of challenges
Can you stand the rain
Posing the question again, "Can you stand the rain?"
Can you stand the rain
Repetition for emphasis on enduring rain
Can you stand the rain
-Can you stand the rain
-Can you stand the rain
-No pressure
Assurance of no undue pressure
No pressure from me baby
Reiterating a lack of pressure in the relationship
Cause I want you
Expressing desire and need for the person
And I need you
Reaffirming the importance of the person
And I love you
Declaring love for the person
Will you be there for me?
Asking if the person will be there when needed
Can you stand the rain?
Repeating the question, "Can you stand the rain?"
Can you stand the rain?
-Can you stand the rain?
-Can you stand the rain?
-Can you stand the rain?
-Can you stand the rain?
