"Everything I Own"--a Song



This is a good song to teach the idea of expressing love before it's too late and not taking things for granted, and grammatically, the relative clause. How I love this stanza:

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.

The melody turns a little melancholic when it comes to this stanza, which could bring tears to your eyes.

Everything I Own

Bread

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.

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 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,

I'd 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,

I'd 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.
