„Everything I Own„este scris de catre David Gates si cantat pentru prima oara de catre formatia acestuia Bread pentru albumul din 1972 Baby, I’m a Want You. Everything I Own s-a bucurat de numeroase cover-uri, printre care cele ale unor Ken Boothe, Olivia Newton-John, Georgie Fame, Boy George, *NSYNC, Rod Stewart. Desi cantecul este adesea interpretat ca un cantec de dragoste, in fapt Gates l-a scris ca tribut pentru batranul sau tata.
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…
(Chorus:)
I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give ev’rything 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…
(Repeat chorus)
(Bridge:)
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
(Repeat chorus)
Just to touch you once again
