I'd Give My Life For You

I'd Give My Life For You (Original London Cast Recording/1989) - Lea Salonga

Written by：Claude Michel Schönberg

You who I cradled in my arms

You

Asking as little as you can

Little snip of a little man

I know I'd give my life for you

You didn't ask me to be born

You

Why should you learn of war or pain

To make sure you're not hurt again

I swear I'd give my life for you

I've tasted love beyond all fear

And you should know it's love

That brought you here

And in one perfect night

When the stars burned like new

I knew what I must do

I'll give you a million things

I'll never own

I'll give you a world to conquer

When you're grown

You will be who you want to be

You

Can choose whatever heaven grants

As long as you can have your chance

I swear I'll give my life for you

Sometimes I wake up reaching for him

I feel his shadow brush my head

But there's just moonlight on my bed

Was he a ghost

Was he alive

That made my body laugh and cry

Then by my side the proof I see

His little one

Gods of the sun

Bring him to me

You will be who you want to be

You

Can choose whatever heaven grants

As long as you can have your chance

I swear I'll give my life for you

No one can stop what I must do

I swear I'll give my life for you
