Yours
Julie London Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yours till the stars lose their glory
Yours till the birds fail to sing
Yours to the end of life's story
This pledge to you dear
I bring

Yours in the grey of December
Here on unfar distant shores
I've never loved anyone
The way I love you
How could I
When I was born to be
Just yours

(Yours in the grey of December)
(Here on unfar distant shores)
I've never loved anyone
The way I love you
How could I
When I was born to be
Just yours





(Yours till the stars lose their glory)
