Lyrics

You sheltered me from harm

You provided protection from danger

You kept me warm

You kept me physically warm

Kept me warm

Repeated emphasis on the warmth and care received


You gave my life to me

You gave purpose and meaning to my life

You set me free

You allowed me to experience freedom

Set me free

Emphasizes the liberating impact of the relationship


The finest years I ever knew

The best years of my life were with you

Where are the years I had with you?

Reflecting on the past and missing those times


I would give anything I own

Expressing a willingness to sacrifice possessions for the relationship

Give up my life, my heart, my home

Willing to give up everything, including life, for the relationship

I would give everything I own

Reiteration of the willingness to sacrifice all possessions

Just to have you back again

Desire to have the person back in life


You taught me how to love

You taught me how to love deeply

Body and soul

Love encompassed both the physical and spiritual aspects

Body and soul

Repeated emphasis on the holistic nature of love


You never said too much but still you showed the way

You were not vocal but demonstrated love through actions

And I knew

Acknowledging understanding of the unspoken messages

What you knew

Recognition of shared knowledge and connection


Nobody else could ever know

A unique and intimate part of oneself that is hard to release

The part of me that can't let go

A struggle to let go of a significant aspect of oneself


I would give anything I own

Repetition of willingness to sacrifice for the relationship

Give up my life, my heart, my home

Reiteration of the readiness to give up everything

I would give everything I own

Expressing a profound commitment to the relationship

Just to have you back again

Yearning to bring back the person into one's life


Is there someone you know?

Asking if there is someone else in a similar situation

You're loving them so

Expressing love for someone but not realizing its value

But taking them all for granted

Warning about taking a loved one for granted

You may lose them one day

Cautioning about the potential loss of a loved one

Someone takes them away

Highlighting the possibility of someone else taking the loved one away

And they don't hear the words you long to say

Emphasizing the importance of expressing love while one can


I would give anything I own

Reiteration of the willingness to sacrifice for love

Give up my life, my heart, my home

Restating the readiness to give up everything for the relationship

I would give everything I own

Affirming the commitment to surrender all possessions for love

Just to have you back again

Reaffirming the longing to have the person back in life


Just to touch you once again

Expressing a deep desire to physically reconnect with the person
