D                         A            D
I'm sittin' on my terrace, lost in the stars,
D                              A      D
Listening to the sounds of the sad guitars.
D7                                  G
 Been thinking it all over and I've thought it all through.
D                A                         D
 I've made up my mind to give myself to you.
            
I saw the first fall of snow.
I saw the flowers come and go.
I don't think that anyone ever, else, ever knew.
I've made up my mind to give myself to you.
            
Bm                   Em
I'm giving myself to you, I am
     D                 G
From Salt Lake City to Birmingham
     Bm           Em
From East L.A. to San Antone
        D                           G
I don't think I can bear to live my life alone
            
My eye's like a shooting star,
It looks at nothin' here or there, looks at nothin' near or far.
No one ever told me...     - it's just something I knew.
I've made up my mind to give myself to you.
            
If I had the wings of a snow white dove,
I'd preach the gospel, the gospel of love,
A love so real, a love so true.
I've made up my mind to give myself to you.
            
Take me on traveling, you're a traveling man,
Show me something I don't understand.
I'm not what I was, things aren't what they were,
I'll go far away from home with her.
            
I've traveled a long road of despair,
I've met no other traveler there.
Lot of people gone, lot of people I knew.
I've made up my mind to give myself to you.
            
[Instrumental bridge]
            
Well, my heart's like a river, a river that sings,
Just takes me a while to realize things.
I'll see you at sunrise, I'll see you at dawn,
I'll lay down beside you when everyone's gone.
            
I've traveled from the mountains to the sea.
I hope that the gods go easy with me.
I knew you'd say yes, I'm saying it too.
I've made up my mind to give myself to you.
