That's How Strong My Love Is

The speaker describes love as constant, protective, and almost limitless. The feeling develops through promises to stay near the beloved and comfort them: even when the sun disappears or a storm passes, the speaker will still be there. The repeated claim that the love is strong gives the song an insistent, affectionate tone, as if the speaker is trying to make a powerful feeling unmistakable.

Nature provides the main images. The sun and moon suggest presence through changing times, while the rainbow’s colors represent warmth and comfort after darkness. The weeping willow and tears make sadness seem so abundant that the beloved could swim in them; this is playful exaggeration, not a literal promise. The ocean, described as deep and wide, turns love into something vast and difficult to cross or escape.

The lyrics can be heard as a sincere offer of support: the speaker wants to share the beloved’s sadness and help them feel safe. But the final lines also make the love sound overwhelming, especially the idea that someone cannot get around it. That may be comic emphasis on devotion, or it may hint at possessiveness. The lyrics do not clearly settle that tension, leaving the listener to decide how comforting or intense the speaker’s promises feel.
