Baby, I'm Yours
Eternal Promises of Love: Exploring the Meaning Behind 'Baby, I'm Yours'
Lyrics
Baby I'm yours (baby I'm yours)
Expressing commitment and devotion, declaring ownership and affection.
And I'll be yours until the stars fall from the sky
Promising to be devoted until the celestial bodies lose their brilliance.
Yours until the rivers all run dry
Pledging enduring love, comparing it to rivers that never cease to flow.
In other words, until I die
Stating commitment until death, emphasizing the permanence of the relationship.
Baby I'm yours (baby I'm yours)
Reiterating ownership and commitment for emphasis.
And I'll be yours until the sun no longer shines
Promising fidelity even if the sun, a symbol of vitality, fades away.
Yours until the poets run out of rhyme
Committing to love until creativity and inspiration cease.
In other words, until the end of time
Expressing dedication until the concept of time loses its meaning.
I'm gonna stay right here by your side
Declaring a commitment to remain close and supportive.
Do my best to keep you satisfied
Promising to make efforts to ensure the partner's satisfaction.
Nothing in the world can drive me away
Affirming unwavering loyalty, resisting any force that might separate.
'Cause every day you'll hear me say
Expressing a daily affirmation of love and commitment.
Baby I'm yours
Repeating the assertion of ownership and commitment.
And I'll be yours until two and two is three
Extending commitment through a playful reference to a mathematical impossibility.
Yours until the mountain crumbles to the sea
Committing to love until monumental structures erode into the sea.
In other words, until eternity
Stressing an eternal commitment beyond conventional measures of time.
Baby I'm yours
Reaffirming ownership and dedication.
Till the stars fall from the sky
Repeating commitment with a celestial metaphor.
Baby I'm yours
Reiterating ownership with emphasis on celestial changes.
Till the rivers all run dry
Emphasizing commitment with a metaphor of unending rivers.
Baby I'm yours
Restating commitment until creative expression ceases.
Till the poets run out of rhyme
Concluding the song with a commitment lasting as long as poetic inspiration.
