I Am His Lady
Melba Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shinning in the morning sun, dancing in the sea breeze
Very glad to be what I want to be.
l'm his lady.
The days are easy they are running like a river
He walks out to meet the day taking my world with him.
Looking fine and free seeing into me
I'm his lady
Like a river that knows where to go
I am his lady and I wonder what to give him.
Can I give myself today will the giving please him
He's a sweet wild thing and I love to sing I'm his lady.
He's a sweet wild thing and I love to sing I'm his lady.
He is deep and shallow and he's trapped and free.
Like a river that runs to the sea.
I am his lady I am running like a river.
Faster than a flood in spring, slower than a sparrow with a wounded wing Oh but a song to sing I'm his lady.
He's a sweet wild thing and I love to sing I'm his lady.
Oh, he's a sweet wild thing and I love to sing I'm his lady.
He's a sweet wild thing and I love to sing I'm his lady.
He's a sweet wild thing and I love to sing that I'm his lady.
Said he's a sweet sweet wild thing and I'm his lady.
