All I Want Is You
Tristan Prettyman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I were a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I were a tree growing tall and green
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my boy
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
As long as you were with me, let the cold wind blow

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.




If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float

If I were a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I were a tree growing tall and green
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
As long as you were with me, let the cold wind blow

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

When I was around ten, I used play this song on my 3DS all the time, imagining being on X-factor and proposing to a girl while singing. And yet it still took me three more years to come out. I'll never forget this song, it's done so much for me, thank you.

I love living in a day in age where I can watch a movie (Juno), hear a song I like, but not know the title of the song, pop a few of the lyrics into google, find the title, click the youtube link....and here we are. And now it's in my music library XD

@RK70825

@MossyBallerina

I first heard this song a few years ago in a store… I loved it, but couldn't remember any of the lyrics or who it was by, so I couldn't find. And then just a minute ago it showed up on Pandora! So happy I (re)discovered this beautiful song. <3
