I Give U My Heart
Lea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You,
Asking as little as you can.
Little snip of a little man,
I know I'd give my life for you.
You didn't ask me to be born
You,
To be sure you're not hurt again,
I swear I'd give my life for you.
I've tasted love beyond all fear.
And you should know it's love that brought you here.
And in one perfect night,
When the stars burned like new,
I knew what I must do.
I'll give you a million things I'll never own.
I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown.
You will be who you want to be.
You
Can choose whatever heaven grants.
As long as you can have your chance,
I swear I'll give my life for you.
Sometimes I wake up, reaching for him.
I feel his shadow brush my head,
But there's just moonlight on my bed.
Was he a ghost?
Was he a lie?
That made my body laugh and cry?
Then by my side the proof I see, his little one.
Gods of the sun,
Bring him to me.
You will be who you want to be.
You
Can choose whatever heaven grants.
As long as you can have your chance,
I swear I'll give my life for you.
No one can stop what I must do.
I swear I'll give my life for you.
"I'd Give My Life For You" is a powerful song from the hit musical Miss Saigon, written by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil. The song is sung by Kim, a young Vietnamese girl who is forced to work in a bar and falls in love with an American soldier named Chris during the Vietnam War. Kim becomes pregnant with Chris's child and is determined to give him a better life by getting him out of Vietnam and into America. The lyrics of the song convey Kim's unwavering love and devotion to her child, whom she cradles in her arms and swears to protect at all costs.
The first verse of the song sets the tone for Kim's fierce love for her child, as she sings about how she would give her life for him without hesitation. The second verse reflects on the pain and suffering that Kim has endured in her life and her determination to shield her child from the same experiences. The chorus repeats the sentiment that Kim would do anything for her child, even if it meant sacrificing her own life, and encourages her child to chase their dreams and be whoever they want to be.
The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, as Kim reflects on the memory of Chris and wonders if he was real or just a figment of her imagination. However, the proof of their love lies in their child, who Kim promises to give the world to conquer when they grow up. The song ends with the repeated promise that Kim would give her life for her child and that nothing can stop her from achieving her goal.

Thank you so much for sharing. Do you happen to know who produced her song "I'm Gone"? It sounds like Bryan Michael Cox production, but I could be wrong.
