For Evelyn
ALL I AM IS YOURS Johnny D. Taylor
Wherever you are, that’s where I want to be
Whatever you need you can have for free
I’ll give it all to see you smile at me
‘Cause all I am is yours.
So ask me for all of your heart’s desire
Ask me to pay the price your joy requires
I gave my love and there is no cost higher
So all I am is yours.
If you would be my Lady I’ll be your Knight
‘Though my armor’s rusty and I’m more black and blue than white
I’ll be your champion, fight with all my might
‘Cause all I am is yours.
My faith in you will evermore endure
My hands are rugged but my hold is sure
I ain’t pretty but my heart is pure
And all I am is yours.
And when it’s time to face the setting sun
And we look back on all we’ve been and done
We’ll understand just how the two become one
‘Cause all I am is yours.
If there’s a love that conquers life and time
That can’t be broken, faded, or left behind
I swear to you it will be yours and mine
‘Cause all I am is yours.
My Strength, my Breath, my Life,
My Heart, my Love for you my Wife
All I am is yours.
