Bread - Everything I Own

You sheltered me from harm

Kept me warm, kept me warm

You gave my life to me

Set me free, set me free

The finest years I ever knew

Were all the years I had with you

[Chorus:]

I would give anything I own

I'd give up my life, my heart, my home

I would give everything I own

Just to have you back again

You taught me how to laugh

What a time, what a time

You never said too much

But still you showed the way

And I knew from watching you

Nobody else could ever know

The part of me that can't let go

(chorus)

Is there someone you know

You're loving them so

But taking them all for granted?

You may lose them one day

Someone takes them away

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

(chorus)

Just to touch you once again
