Make You Feel My Love
Lyrics:
[English]
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
...
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
...
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
Know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
...
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
...
To make you feel my love
...

When the rain is blowing in your face
➔ Present Continuous Tense
➔ Describes an action happening at the moment of speaking or around the present time. The structure is: be + verb-ing. Here, "is blowing" describes the rain actively blowing.
-
I could offer you a warm embrace
➔ Conditional Mood (Second Conditional - possibility)
➔ Uses "could + verb" to express a possible action or offer in a hypothetical situation. The implied 'if' clause is the situation described in the preceding lines. The sentence means 'If you were in this situation, I could offer...'
-

-
I've known it from the moment that we met
➔ Present Perfect Tense
➔ "I've known" is a contraction of "I have known", using the Present Perfect to express an action that started in the past (the moment they met) and continues to have relevance in the present. It emphasizes the duration and ongoing effect of the knowledge.
-
No doubt in my mind where you belong
➔ Noun Clause
➔ "Where you belong" functions as a noun clause, acting as the object of the preposition "in". It answers the question "What is the location of your belonging?"
-
Know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
➔ Relative Clause (with 'that')
➔ The relative clause "that I wouldn't do" modifies "nothing". It specifies which "nothing" the speaker is referring to - the 'nothing' they wouldn't do. The 'that' acts as the object of the verb 'do'.
-
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
➔ Present Continuous Tense
➔ Similar to the first example, "are blowing" describes the winds actively changing and evolving. The structure is: be + verb-ing.
-
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
➔ Present Perfect Tense (Negative)
➔ "You ain't seen" (informal contraction of "you have not seen") uses the Present Perfect in the negative to express that up until now, the listener hasn't experienced something like the speaker. "Yet" emphasizes that this situation could change in the future.
