英文乡村歌曲：Lady Antebellum - Can't Stand The Rain

The storms are left, I’m gonna blow a few, baby
You know we’ve all seen a cloud or two
But I meant it when I promised that I’ll have your back through sky black or blue!
Do you remember how we swore¹ forever² till the sweet or bitter³ end
Well, this is what they mean when they say you got the real thing in a friend!

Chorus⁴:
With arms open wide
I’ll be your umbrella when you just can’t stand the rain
There by your side,
I wanna be your shelter⁵ when you just can’t stand
When you just can’t stand the rain!

I don’t know whether right or wrong is gonna end up
Or this crazy world has put you through.
But don’t you worry about me, baby
You just go and do what you gotta do!
I’ll still be here for you!

Chorus:
With arms open wide
I’ll be your umbrella when you just can’t stand the rain
There by your side,
I wanna be your shelter when you just can’t stand
When you just can’t stand the rain!

When you can’t protect it even one more day
No, I’m never too far away
Than when you feel like you’re out there on your own,
No you’re not alone, no!
Oh, no!

Chorus:
With arms open wide
I’ll be your umbrella when you just can’t stand the rain
There by your side,
I wanna be your shelter when you just can’t stand
When you just can’t stand the rain!
