I Just Want To Be Your Everything

Post Reply New Topic

I just heard this old song again.
It never really grabbed me before.
I think I get it this time.
Along with a possible explanation for why my twenty-year marriage has never worked.
I can’t build my life around someone else, and why would I want to?

I want a partner, not a master.

At the moment, I’m thinking that this is the ultimate definition of insanity.
The final hell.

“I’d do anything to be your everything.”
You want me to be an appendage of you?
Why would I want to do that?


"I Just Want To Be Your Everything" by the Bee Gees

For so long
You and me been finding each other for so long
And the feeling that I feel for you is more then strong, girl
Take it from me
If you give a little more then you're asking for
Your love will turn the key

Darling mine
I would wait forever for those lips of wine
Build my world around you, darling
This love will shine, girl
Watch it and see
If you give a little more then you're asking for
Your love will turn the key

I, I just want to be your everything
Open up the heaven in your heart and let me be
The things you are to me and not some puppet on a string
Oh , if I stay here without you , darling , I will die
I want you laying in the love I have to bring
I’d do anything to be your everything

LOL! A partner or companion is the best! Don't want to be obsessive or have anyone obsess over me (been there & done that & it was disturbing & creepy; especially the stalking part!).


Here's a song about working together, Christy Moore sings it:

Voyage
Johnny Duhan


I am a sailor,you're my first mate

We signed on together, we coupled our fate

Hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail

For the hearts treasure together we set sail.


With no maps to guide us we steered our own course

Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force

Sat out the doldrums in patience and hope

Working together we learned how to cope.

CHORUS

Life is an ocean and love is a boat

In troubled water that keeps us afloat

When we started the voyage,there was just me and you

Now gathered round us we have our own crew.

Together we're in this relationship

We built it with care to last the whole trip

Our true destination's not marked on any charts

We're navigating to the shores of the heart.
