Dori Freeman If I Could Make You My Own
VERSE 1
I would give you my heart and my pride
I would give you the rib from my side
I would promise to love and abide
If I could make you my own
VERSE 2
I would keep you away from all harm
I would shelter you from all alarm
And delight in the glow of your charm
If I could make you my own
CHORUS
Oh the rivers and seas may churn
Oh the flowers and leaves may turn
I need never to grieve and yearn
If I could make you my own
VERSE 3
I would lay down my soul at your feet
I need never to drink or to eat
I would know not the smallest of feat
If I could make you my own
VERSE 4
I would weather the wind and the rain
I would shoulder your trouble and pain
I would give you give you the blood from my veins
If I could make you my own
CHORUS
Oh the rivers and seas may churn
Oh the flowers and leaves may turn
I need never to grieve and yearn
If I could make you my own
VERSE 5
I declare from valley to sky
I would shout to the heavens on high
I would whisper not once and goodbye
If I could make you my own
Oh if I could make you my own
CHORUS
Oh the rivers and seas may churn
Oh the flowers and leaves may turn
I need never to grieve and yearn
If I could make you my own
Oh the rivers and seas may churn
Oh the flowers and leaves may turn
I need never to grieve and yearn
If I could make you my own
Oh if I could make you my own
