Everything I Own
Unforgettable Love: Sacrifices and Longing in Ken Boothe's 'Everything I Own'
Lyrics
You sheltered me from harm
You provided protection from danger or trouble
Kept me warm, kept me warm
Ensured my warmth and comfort
You gave my life to me
You gave meaning and purpose to my life
Set me free, set me free
Allowed me to experience freedom
The finest years I ever knew
The best years of my life were spent with you
Is all the years I had with you
Highlighting the positive impact of the shared years
And I would give anything I own
Expressing willingness to sacrifice possessions
I'd give up my life, my heart, my own
Willing to give up life, heart, and belongings
And I would give anything I own
Reiterating the willingness to sacrifice
Just to have you back again
Yearning to have the person back in life
Is there someone you know
Asking about someone in your life
That won't let you go
Refusing to let go of someone
And taking it all for granted?
Taking relationships for granted without appreciation
You may lose them one day
Warning of the potential loss of loved ones
Someone takes them away
The fear of someone being taken away
And you don't hear the words they say
Not paying attention to their words and feelings
And I would give anything I own
Reiteration of willingness to sacrifice
I'd give up my life, my heart, my own
Emphasizing readiness to give up everything
I would give anything I own
Repeating the sentiment of sacrifice
Just to have you back again
Expressing a deep desire to have the person back
Just to talk to you words again
Longing to have conversations with the person
If there's someone you know
Asking about someone in your life (repeated)
That won't let you go
Insisting on not letting go of someone (repeated)
And taking it all for granted?
Repeating the theme of taking relationships for granted
You may lose them one day
Reiteration of the possibility of losing someone
Someone takes them away
Highlighting the potential separation from loved ones
And you don't hear the words they say
Emphasizing the importance of listening to their words
And I would give anything I own
Restating the willingness to sacrifice
I'd give up my life, my heart, my own
Reaffirming the readiness to give up everything
And I would give anything I own
Repeating the sentiment of sacrifice
Just to have you back again
Expressing a deep desire to have the person back
Just to talk to you words again
Longing to have conversations with the person
Just hold you once again
Yearning to hold the person once again
