Everything I Own - Bread (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
Everything I Own (Bread, 1972). ive cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2023-06-22. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"Everything I Own," written by David Gates, was Bread's 7th consecutive top 40 hit rising to the no. 5 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1972 (Whitburn, 2013). But in Britain, two cover versions of Gates' song rose to the no. 1 position: Ken Boothe (1974, no. 1) and Boy George (1987, no. 1) (Kutner & Leigh, 2005). The inspiration for the song came from an unusual place -- David Gates' father's funeral. "A friend took David aside and said, 'Your dad was so proud of what you were doing.' David agreed by replying, 'My success would have been so special to him as he was my greatest influence. So I decided to write and record Everything I Own about him. If you listen to the words, 'You sheltered me from harm, kept me warm, gave my life to me, set me free,' it says it all'" (Kutner & Leigh, 2005, p. 204)

Lyrics:
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
And I would give anything I own
I'd 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
And I would give anything I own,
I'd 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,
Your 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,
I'd 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
