Everything I Own -- Bread

You sheltered me from harm. Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me Set me free, Set me free
The finest years I ever knew were all the years I had with you
I would give anything I own, Give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own, just to have you back again.

You taught me how to love, What it's of, what it's of.
You never said too much, but still you showed the way, 
and I knew from watching you. Nobody else could ever know 
the part of me that can't let go. I would give anything I own,
Give up my life, my heart, my home. I would give everything I own Just to have you back again.

Is there someone you know, you're loving them so, but taking them
all for granted. You may lose them one day, someone takes them away, and they don't hear the words you long to say
I would give anything I own, Give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own Just to have you back again.
Just to touch you once again

Although the song is frequently interpreted as a romantic love song, Gates actually wrote the song as a tribute to his late father.

The original hit number five on the American Billboard Hot 100. 

           

     Andrea Bocelli sings Sogno as a way to say goodbye to the audience at the Statue of Liberty concert in 2000. Also a tribute to his late father, this song is easily enough to bring tears to your eyes.
