D A D I'm sittin' on my terrace, lost in the stars, D A D Listening to the sounds of the sad guitars. D7 G Been thinking it all over and I've thought it all through. D A D 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, else, ever knew. I've made up my mind to give myself to you.
Bm Em I'm giving myself to you, I am D G From Salt Lake City to Birmingham Bm Em From East L.A. to San Antone D G I don't think I can bear to live my life alone
My eye's like a shooting star, It looks at nothin' here or there, looks at nothin' near or 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 on 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.
[Instrumental bridge]
Well, my heart's like a river, a river that sings, Just takes me a while to realize things. I'll see you at sunrise, I'll see you at 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.
