Gates, David - Everything I Own Lyrics






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

And I would give anything I own
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 love
What it's of, what it's of
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

And I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again

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

I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Just to touch you once again

    Lovely lovely song - this is my life in the 70's - bitter sweet memories of a love I lost - Peter Richards / Shanklin - Isle of Wight - 1974 - where have you gone????

    💖 I believe that we will meet our beloved husbands in the God's Kingdom when our times come as it's written in the Holy Scriptures! Let us keep them in our prayers till we meet them!🙏
    "O my God! O my God! Verily, thy servant, humble before the majesty of Thy divine supremacy, lowly at the door of Thy oneness, hath believed in Thee and in Thy verses, hath testified to Thy word, hath been enkindled with the fire of Thy love, hath been immersed in the depths of the ocean of Thy knowledge, hath been attracted by Thy breezes, hath relied upon Thee, hath turned his face to Thee, hath offered his supplications to Thee, and hath been assured of Thy pardon and forgiveness. He hath abandoned this mortal life and hath flown to the kingdom of immortality, yearning for the favor of meeting Thee.
    O Lord, glorify his station, shelter him under the pavilion of Thy supreme mercy, cause him to enter Thy glorious paradise, and perpetuate his existence in Thine exalted rose garden, that he may plunge into the sea of light in the world of mysteries.
    Verily, Thou art the Generous, the Powerful, the Forgiver and the Bestower.
    ‘Abdu’l-Bahá (Baha'i prayers)

  24. D.... B....

    Cried when heard on Radio he wrote this to his father which gives it even more depth. I was 14 when lost my father 49 years ago today he was the same as in this song and can still feel his love and protection in my life.  god Bless David Gates wherever he is today 10th January 2014

  25. V.... ....

    Listened to this over and over and thought of my mother who would have been 50years old today on the 24th May.

  26. M.... A....

    Billy Dean wrote this song about his father. He explains how he wrote this song in the 1994 live performance with David Gates. It's here on youtube.

  27. J.... S....

    Actually ,its about his Father

  28. P.... J....

    beautiful and nostalgic

  29. M.... M....

    Actually, its about his father.

  30. T.... M....

    Most people think this is a love song, BUT if you listen it actually is about D.G.'s mother! People be sure you get that chance to say how much you love them, before it's to late

  31. J.... C....

    The gentleness of ur voice David is lovely : )

  32. C.... F....

    What's annoying is, to you, "your = your", but to me = "your = belongs to you", and "you're = you are." I know I am being ultra pedantic here, but I am drunk, and to me, you might as well be saying CAT when you mean DOG. You seem to have no concept of written words, and the fact that they can sound the same as other written words, even though their(!) meaning is completely different. It pisses me off even more because I see it rubbing off on myself and others.

  33. C.... F....

    Is there someone you know, *you're* loving them so.

  34. E.... M....

    he reminds me of my late husband... and meaning of this song is very touchy and makes me miss him more than ever... it's really hard to let someone go..... love you, valdek... always

  35. L.... E....

    muito bom!!

  36. e.... ....

    *you're

  37. d.... S....

    muito bacana

  38. M.... I....

    Your a total and complete bitch for saying that!!!!!!!

  39. K.... S....

    Lindíssima!

  40. r.... ....

    I mis you Mum, my best friend :.'(

  41. M.... L....

    I miss my Dad. After all these years, I still miss him. I guess I always will.

  42. s.... h....

    One Word Beautiful

    Thanks now I go and listen to it again and once more shed some tears.

  43. A.... ....

    Great "wailin' in the car" song!

  44. k.... ....

    TY ..... this song really helped me when my Dad died.

  45. L.... L....

    David! you are a legend! x

  46. K.... G....

    WOW! Smart guy! This is the one amazing song that I have cherishered for years! THANK YOU!

  47. p.... ....

    Happy Fathers Day to all Fathers on Sunday 5th September. (in Australia, don't know about other countries)
