Yours
Robert Shirey Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everytime I see you
Stars
When you walk in the room
No such thing as ordinary
Really we are quite contrary to
Everything that I thought I knew
I want to keep you warm
Come and strike up the choir
Throw open all the doors
I have looked low and high, and
I've never been so sure
I am yours
Won't you be mine
I
I know it's hard to find
You
You put your hand in mine
But you don't ever have to wonder
Winter's slumber to the summertime
I'm always on your side
Let's start a fire
I want to keep you warm
Come on and strike up the choir
Throw open all the doors
Oh, I've looked low and high, and
I've never been so sure
I am yours
And you are mine
Darlin,
Let's start a fire
I want to keep you warm
Come on and strike up the choir
Throw open all the doors
Oh, I've looked low and high, and
I've never been so sure
I am yours
And you are mine
I am yours
And you are mine
How the sun does shine
How the stars burn bright
Now that I am yours
And you are mine
Now that I am yours
And you are mine
In the song "Yours" by Robert Shirey Kelly, the artist talks about his deep feelings for someone he loves. The opening lines "Sparks, every time I see you, stars when you walk in the room," indicate that the person he is addressing has a shining and radiant presence in his life that brightens up his world. He then goes on to say, "No such thing as ordinary, really we are quite contrary to, everything that I thought I knew." This suggests that the person he loves possesses qualities that he did not expect or anticipate, which further reinforces his fascination with this person.
The chorus "Let's start a fire, I want to keep you warm, come and strike up the choir, throw open all the doors, I have looked low and high, and I've never been so sure, I am yours, won't you be mine," conveys the artist's desire to keep this person close to him and never let go. He wants to be with them, always keeping them warm and protected. The line, "I've looked low and high, and I've never been so sure," indicates that he has gone through a lot to find this person, but their presence in his life makes it all worth it.
The artist concludes the song by repeating the chorus, adding that since he is now with this person, things are much brighter and beautiful. He says, "How the sun does shine, how the stars burn bright, now that I am yours, and you are mine." This implies that the person he is addressing has brought joy and happiness to his life.
