Written by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer for the 1946 Broadway musical "St. Louis Woman"; it closes Fallen Angels.
The words
A promise of lasting love, whatever luck, weather or fortune may bring to the couple.
The singer vows steady devotion through good times and bad, rich or poor, happy or troubled. It is a vow song, calm and certain rather than anxious, built on a simple contrast between fair and foul weather. Placed at the end of the album, it closes the record on a note of commitment. Dylan sings it slowly and earnestly, with his band's soft, warm backing giving the promise a sense of quiet dignity.
