Can You Stand the Rain
Enduring Love: Weathering Storms Together
Lyrics
On a perfect day
Reference to an ideal or perfect day
I know that I can count on you
Expressing confidence in the reliability of the person being addressed
When that's not possible
Acknowledging that sometimes counting on the person may not be possible
Tell me can you weather the storm
Asking if the person can endure challenges and difficult times
Cause I need somebody who will stand by me
Seeking someone who will support and stand by in all situations
Through the good times and bad
Desiring support through both positive and negative experiences
She will always, always be right there
Emphasizing constant presence and support
Sunny days
Referring to days filled with happiness and warmth
Everybody loves them
Expressing universal appreciation for sunny days
Tell me
Asking a question about enduring challenging times
Can you stand the rain
Repeating the question about standing firm during difficulties
Storms will come
Acknowledging the certainty of facing life's storms
This we know for sure
Reiterating the inevitability of challenges
Can you stand the rain
Repeating the question, emphasizing enduring storms
Love unconditional
Expressing a desire for love without conditions
I'm not asking this of you
Clarifying that such love is not demanded but desired
We've got to make it last
Highlighting the importance of making the relationship last
I'll do whatever needs to be done
Committing to do whatever is necessary for the relationship
Cause I need somebody who will stand by me
Reiterating the need for unwavering support
Through the good times and bad times
Emphasizing the support required during both good and bad times
She will always, always be right there
Reaffirming constant presence and support
Sunny days
Referring again to days filled with happiness
Everybody loves them
Repeating universal love for sunny days
Tell me
Repeating the question about enduring challenging times
Can you stand the rain
Reiterating the query about standing firm during difficulties
Storms will come
Stressing the certainty of facing life's storms
This we know for sure
Reiterating the inevitability of challenges
Can you stand the rain
Repeating the question, emphasizing enduring storms
Can you stand the rain
Repeating the question multiple times for emphasis
Can you stand the rain
Continuation of the repetitive emphasis on enduring challenges
Can you stand the rain
-Can you stand the rain
-No pressure
Expressing a lack of pressure in the relationship
No pressure from me baby
Reassuring the absence of pressure from the speaker
Cause I want you
Declaring the speaker's desire for the person
And I need you
Affirming the speaker's need and love for the person
And I love you
Expressing love for the person
Will you be there for me?
Pose a question about being there for the speaker
Can you stand the rain?
Repeating the question about enduring challenges with slight variation
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?
