If I Could Make You My Own

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
 I would keep you away from all harm
 I would shelter you from all harm
 I'd delight in the glow of your charm
 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
 I would lay down my soul at your feet
 I need never to eat or to drink
 I would know not the smallest defeat
 If I could make you my own
 I would weather the wind and the rain
 I would shoulder your trouble and pain
 I would give you the blood from my veins
 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
 I declare from valley to sky
 I would shout to the heavens on high
 I would whisper not one sad goodbye
 If I could make you my own
 Oh 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 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
