You're Mine
Jack Greene & Jeannie Seely Lyrics

I won't say that I'm the only one who loved you
I am aware that there were others who loved you before I came into your life

I can't say I make you happy all the time
I am aware that there are times when you are unhappy despite my efforts

There's someone you can't forget you never will and yet
I know that there is someone from your past whom you still remember and love

As far as my heart's concerned you're mine
Despite your past, I am fully committed to you and consider you to be mine

You never once have told me that you need me
You have never expressed your need for me in words

And you forget with I'm around you sometimes
There are times when you seem to forget my presence even when I am around you

There are words I try to say when you turn and walk away
I have thoughts that I want to express to you but I am unable to do so whenever you leave

But as far as my heart's concerned you're mine
Regardless of our conversations, my commitment to you remains the same

You're mine and yet I know someday I'll lose you
Although you are mine now, I am aware that our relationship may not last forever

But you can't take this happiness I've found
No matter what happens to our relationship, I will hold onto the happy memories we shared

I know it may sound foolish when I tell you that I'm satisfied just having you around
Some may think it foolish that I am happy just being with you, but it is the truth

Even when you're in my arms I know you're lonely
Although we are physically close, I sense that you are still emotionally distant and lonely

Wish that I could take that someone all to mine
I wish that I could take the person from your past and make them mine instead

But it seems you can't forget you never will and yet
Despite my wishes, I know that you will always remember and love the person from your past

As far as my heart's concerned you're mine
Despite everything, my heart still considers you to be mine
