I would give you my heart and my pride I would give you the rib from my side I would promise to love and abide If I could make you my own I would keep you away from all harm I would shelter you from all harm I'd delight in the glow of your charm If I could make you my own Oh the rivers and seas may churn Oh the flowers and leaves may turn I need never to grieve and yearn If I could make you my own I would lay down my soul at your feet I need never to eat or to drink I would know not the smallest defeat If I could make you my own I would weather the wind and the rain I would shoulder your trouble and pain I would give you the blood from my veins If I could make you my own Oh the rivers and seas may churn Oh the flowers and leaves may turn I need never to grieve and yearn If I could make you my own I declare from valley to sky I would shout to the heavens on high I would whisper not one sad goodbye If I could make you my own Oh if I could make you my own Oh the rivers and seas may churn Oh the flowers and leaves may turn I need never to grieve and yearn If I could make you my own Oh the rivers and seas may churn Oh the flowers and leaves may turn I need never to grieve and yearn If I could make you my own Oh if I could make you my own
