I'VE MADE UP MY MIND TO GIVE MYSELF TO YOU
Music by Bob Dylan
Lyrics and Music by Bob Dylan
1
I'm sittin' on my terrace, lost in the stars

Listening to the sounds of the sad guitars

Been thinking it all over and I've thought it all through

I've made up my mind to give myself to you



2
I saw the first fall of snow

I saw the flowers come and go

I don't think that anyone ever ever knew

I've made up my mind to give myself to you



Bridge 1
I'm giving myself to you, I am

From Salt Lake City to Birmingham

From East L.A. to San Antone

I don't think I can bear to live my life alone



3
My eye's like a shooting star

It looks at nothin' here or there, looks at nothin' near of far

No one ever told me, it's just something I knew

I've made up my mind to give myself to you



4
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



Bridge 2
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



5
I've traveled a long road of despair

I've met no other traveler there

Lot of people gone, a lot of people I knew

I've made up my mind to give myself to you



Instrumental intermezzo

Bridge 3
Well, my heart's like a river, a river that sings

Just takes me a while to realize things

I've seen the sunrise, I've seen the dawn

I'll lay down beside you when everyone's gone



6
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
