  • I'm sitting on my terrace, lost in the stars
    Listening to the sounds of the sad guitars
    Been thinking it all over and I've thought it all through
    I've made up my mind to give myself to you

    I saw the first fall of snow
    I saw the flowers come and go
    I don't think that anyone ever has ever knew
    I've made up my mind to give myself to you

    I'm giving myself to you, I am
    From Salt Lake City to Birmingham
    From East L.A. to San Antone
    I don't think I can bear to live my life alone

    My eyes like a shooting star
    It looks at nothing here or there, looks at nothing near of far
    No one ever told me, it's just something I knew
    I've made up my mind to give myself to you

    If I had the wings of a snow-white dove
    I'd preach the gospel, the gospel of love
    A love so real, a love so true
    I've made up my mind to give myself to you

    Take me out traveling, you're a traveling man
    Show me something I don't understand
    I'm not what I was, things aren't what they were
    I'll go far away from home with her

    I've traveled a long road of despair
    I've met no other traveler there
    Lot of people gone, lot of people I knew
    I've made up my mind to give myself to you

    Well, my heart's like a river, a river that sings
    Just takes me a while to realize things
    I've seen the sunrise, I've seen the dawn
    I'll lay down beside you when everyone's gone

    I've traveled from the mountains to the sea
    I hope that the gods go easy with me
    I knew you'd say yes, I'm saying it too
    I've made up my mind to give myself to you Writer/s: Bob Dylan

  • Mary Cross from Warren, OhioSWEET WINE - just for a taste, Of your sweet wine, just to feel the touch of your hand in mine, Just to walk along a country pathway. Just for your tender eyes to look my way. Just to sing a song together & to weave some rhymes. This is what I have waited all my lifetime to find...
  • Lillyo from EverywhereUnless the creator is a "her"... it being about a goddess may be along the right lines.
  • Mk from DeAbout the creator, duh?
