If You Were Mine
Unlocking Love's Majesty: If You Were Mine
Lyrics
If you were mine
If the person addressed were in a romantic relationship with the speaker
I could be a ruler of kings
The speaker could achieve great power and influence
And if you were mine
Continuation of the hypothetical scenario of being in a romantic relationship
I could do such wonderful things
The speaker believes they could accomplish amazing and positive feats
I'd say to a star
Expressing a romantic gesture of addressing a star, symbolizing a wish or desire
Stop where you are
Request for the star to pause and illuminate the path for the speaker's lover
Light up my lover's way
Asking the star to guide and light up the way for the person the speaker loves
And every star above you
Emphasizing the importance of the stars complying with the speaker's desires
Would obey, say
Continuation of the idea that even the stars would obey the speaker's wishes
If you were mine
Reiteration of the speaker's desire for a romantic relationship
I would live for your love alone
The speaker would dedicate their life solely to the love of the addressed person
To kneel at your shrine
Expressing a willingness to worship and honor the addressed person
I would give up all that I own
Ready to give up all possessions for the sake of the relationship
Yes even my heart
Even willing to sacrifice the speaker's heart for the love of the addressed person
Even my life
Extreme commitment, willing to trade even life itself for the addressed person
I'd trade it all for you
Expressing a willingness to make significant sacrifices for the sake of the relationship
And think I was lucky too
The speaker would consider themselves fortunate despite the sacrifices
If you were mine
Reiteration of the speaker's desire for the addressed person to be theirs
