Topic: "My Heart Belongs to You"

I was singing to myself today for some reason screwing up the words of a Don William song that I really like, Some broken Hearts Never Mend. Anyway, that led to me thinking of this song here and it of course turned into another love song about my wife. smile

My Heart Belongs to You By Jeff Gilpin


April 14th, 2008




Verse 1


[A]In my [E]wallet


My [D]driver’s license at[A]tests


That [A]when my life is [E]over


And I’ve [D]finally come to [A]rest


[B]Someone else can [A]use what’s left


And [E]help them make it [A]through


[D]But my heart will [E]still belong to [A]you




Verse 2


[A]That organ [E]beating


[D]Steady in my [A]chest


[A]Someone else can [E]use it


As [D]well as all the [A]rest


[B]They’ll have every [A]piece of me


But [E]I swear that this is [A]true


My [D]heart will [E]still belong to [A]you




Bridge

[D]Oh I’m sure it’ll go on [A]beating


[E]Letting someone live a few more [A]years [A7]



[B]But they’ll be no for[B7]getting


The [E]love, the laughter, the passion and the [E7]tears




Verse 3


[A]Even if you [E]go first


[D]On to a higher [A]place


[A]Way on up to [E]heaven


In the [D]ground or outer[A]space


[B]Wherever that you [A]go


[E]When your life is [A]through


My [D]heart will [E]still belong to [A]you




Verse 4


[A]I’m sure our days of [E]passing


[D]Won’t come for a [A]while


‘Til [A]then I plan on [E]spending


My re[D]maining years in [A]style


In the [B]style that you’ve [A]spoiled me


Un[E]til my life is [A]through


With[D]out my [E]heart yes it’s [F#m]true


[D]My [E]heart belongs to [D]you [A]

Hi Jeff,

Another good one from you. I played fairly upbeat on my 12er and particularly like introduction of the F#m at the end.

Re: "My Heart Belongs to You"

Hey Roger - Yep, I like the ending too. I'm sure I heard someone else use it a while back and kept it hidden in the back of my brain until I wrote this. Glad you liked it.

Re: "My Heart Belongs to You"

hi jets,

great song, i like to get the feel of a song by reading the words first, then listening to it. i'm looking forward to that pleasure!

it's a shame that when you get to a certain age, your finally happy with your life, your love and especially your partner, that you start to wonder how much time you've got left together, and that's what i think this song is about. it doesnt matter if that's what your writing about or something completely different as every song tells a different story to each listener, this is what it means to me, to someone else it might mean something completely different, and that's what good song writing is all about. i may be wrong, as this is just my opinion.

well done on a fine emotive song

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: "My Heart Belongs to You"

Hey Phil - Thanks.

It is true that I have gotten a bit more clarity as the years have gone by into how lucky I am. The longer we are together the more I love my wife. It's not exactly where this song idea comes from but that was a combination of things and for me it seems to end up turning into a love song more often than not.
