Make You Mine
Capturing Hearts: Meg Ammons' Anthem of Enduring Love
Lyrics
Me, standing with my heart in my hands
Expressing vulnerability and openness, offering one's heart to the other.
You, beside me reaching out to take it
Describing the partner's willingness to reciprocate and accept the offered heart.
I never thought all the things that they said about love could be true
Reflecting skepticism about love based on prior beliefs and experiences.
But that was long before today, that was all before I met you
Acknowledging a positive change in perspective after meeting the significant other.
I'm gonna make, gonna make you mine
Expressing the intent to claim the person as one's own.
I wanna make you proud
Desiring to make the partner proud through actions and behavior.
I'm gonna love you 'til I die
Committing to love the partner unconditionally until death.
From the moment I make you mine
Highlighting the significance of the moment when the commitment is made.
Now, staring down the road before us
Contemplating the future and the choices ahead as a couple.
How we choose to walk it's up to us
Emphasizing the joint responsibility for the path the relationship takes.
So every time that my mind tries to only think of myself
Acknowledging a struggle with self-centered thoughts, seeking reassurance from the partner.
Would you look me in the eyes and tell me
Pleading for honesty and a reminder of the shared vows in challenging moments.
Darling, remember these vows
Referencing the promises made in the commitment to each other.
I'm gonna make, gonna make you mine
Reiterating the determination to make the partner one's own.
I wanna make you proud
Expressing the desire to bring pride to the partner through one's actions.
I'm gonna love you 'til I die
Reaffirming the commitment to love until death.
From the moment I make you mine
Highlighting the importance of the moment when the commitment is solidified.
Through all the highs and lows
Acknowledging the inevitable challenges and joys in the journey ahead.
All the bitter and the sweet
Describing the mix of difficult and delightful experiences in the relationship.
I've never been more sure than of this one thing
Expressing unwavering certainty about the connection, attributing it to a higher power.
God brought you to me
Believing that the partner is a divine gift or destiny.
I'm gonna make, gonna make you mine
Reiterating the determination to make the partner one's own.
I wanna make you proud
Expressing the desire to bring pride to the partner through one's actions.
I'm gonna love you 'til I die
Reaffirming the commitment to love until death.
From the moment I make you mine
Highlighting the importance of the moment when the commitment is solidified.
I'm gonna make, gonna make you mine
Repeating the determination to make the partner one's own for emphasis.
I wanna make you proud
Reiterating the desire to bring pride to the partner through one's actions.
I'm gonna love you 'til I die
Emphasizing the commitment to love until death.
