This young lady from Britain, Adele Adkins, now known by her first name, has had an amazing career in just a few short years. I think this one is lovely – nice to know beautiful love songs are still enjoyed. Many artists have covered this since 1997. She has won a Best Songwriter Award, but this one was written by Bob Dylan. She says criticism of her first album, 19, was that her songs weren’t as good as her voice. She took it to heart, and now with her album, 21, she’s won songwriting awards.
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.
No, 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.
Though winds of change are throwing 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.

Thanks for posting. I'm in a band with a lead singer who will nail this if convinced to do it.
