I'd Give My Life for You Songtext

von Miss Saigon

You who I craddled in my arms.
You,
Asking as little as you can.
Little snip of a little man,
I know I'd give my life for you.

You didn't ask me to be born
You,
Why should you learn of war or pain?
To be sure you're not hurt again,
I swear I'd give my life for you.

I've tasted love beyond all fear.
And you should know it's love that brought you here.
And in one perfect night,
When the stars burned like new,
I knew what I must do.
I'll give you a million things I'll never own.
I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown.

You will be who you want to be.
You
Can choose whatever heaven grants.
As long as you can have your chance,
I swear I'd give my life for you.

Sometimes I wake up, reaching for him.
I feel his shadow brush my head,
But there's just moonlight on my bed.
Was he a ghost?
Was he a lie,
That made my body laugh and cry?
Then by my side the proof I see, his little one.
Gods of the sun,
Bring him to me.

You will be who you want to be.
You
Can choose whatever heaven grants.
As long as you can have your chance,
I swear I'd give my life for you.

No one can stop what I must do.
I swear I'd give my life for you.
