You Gave
You Gave
You gave me everything
A woman could want
And you didn't sway me down
With all your do’s and don’t
You gave me riches
And placed it on the shelf
I thought I had everything
And got beside myself
You gave me flowers
Violets of blue
And when I needed comfort
It was always you
You fill me up
With so much love
Everything I needed
You provided in this world
You gave me every part of you
You held nothing back
When I said I’ll never leave you
Was it just an act?
You gave me the mountain
And land across the sea
Everything you have
Now belongs to me
I will always wonder
Time and time again
Will you ever let
Go of me
And will my riches end?
