I Just Call You Mine
David Phelps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I pinch myself sometimes
To make sure
I'm not in a dream
That's how it seems
I close my eyes and breath in the
Sweetest moments I've ever known
And it feels like home
But who am I not much of anything
And there you are turning winter into spring

(And) Everyone that sees you
Always wants to know you
And everyone that knows knows you
Always has a smile
You're a standing ovation
After years of waiting
For a chance to shine
Everyone calls you amazing
But I just call you mine

I fall apart and just a word from you
somehow seems to fix
Whatever's wrong
You reach into the weakest moments
And remind me that I'm strong
You've gotta know
I'd be a fool not to see or even worse
To forget You're more than I deserved

Nothing makes sense when
You're not here




It's like my whole world disappears
Without you what's the point of anything

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are about the deep love and admiration the singer has for someone they cherish. The opening line "I pinch myself sometimes, to make sure I'm not in a dream" illustrates the singer's disbelief that they have found someone so special. They are grateful for the moments they spend together and feel that being with this person feels like home. The lyrics suggest that this person represents hope and a renewal of life; their presence symbolizes the transition from winter to spring. Additionally, the singer considers themselves nothing special in comparison to this person, indicating a sense of humility and awe.


The chorus further emphasizes the specialness of this person, claiming that everyone who meets or knows them cannot help but be drawn to them. They are described as a "standing ovation" and "amazing." However, in the eyes of the singer, they are so much more than that - they belong to the singer alone, and they represent the ultimate reward for a lifetime of waiting.


The final verse reveals the depth of the singer's love and reliance on this person; when they are absent, nothing in the world seems to make sense or be worth anything. The lyrics suggest that this person is not just a romantic partner, but perhaps a friend or family member who has provided the singer with immense support and strength.


Overall, these lyrics convey a deep sense of gratitude and admiration for someone truly special in the singer's life, someone who has become an essential part of their world and identity.

God reached in and kissed his throat and then he gave him to us. Praise God for giving him to us all. Bless you David.

I couldn't have said it any better than this!

Mary Lanka

I am classically trained and my husband loves heavy metal so finding music we both love can be tricky. But David Phelps is both our favorite. 🙌🏼 He never ceases to amaze. His range is insane. His “Oh love that will not let me go” is one of my all time favs!!

Jenny Semionov

David sings this song with such emotion - he takes you on a journey with his singing - any song David sings he owns! Simply beautiful! Love love love it! ❤

I love this beautiful song so much. David never ceases to amaze me with his range and the compassion with which he sings. He dedicated this song to Lori, his wife, on mother's day during a livestream event . He melted my heart then and everytime he sings this song. He is by far the best I have ever heard. Thank GOD for giving the world this humble man and his phenomenal voice.

Joe Conner

AMEN!! There just aren’t enough superlatives to adequately describe David Phelps. He caught me with his “Oh Holy Night“! No one before, or since, has has ever matched his voice, passion, or presentation of this beautiful song!
