I Am Yours Lyrics
I am yours,
However distant you may be.
There blows no wind
But wafts your scent to me;
There sings no bird
But calls your name to me.
Each memory that has left its trace with me
Lingers forever as a part of me.
I am yours,
However distant you may be.
There blows no wind
But wafts your scent to me;
There sings no bird
But calls your name to me.
Each memory that has left its trace with me
Lingers forever as a part of me.
I am yours,
However distant you may be.
There blows no wind
But wafts your scent to me;
There sings no bird
But calls your name to me.
Each memory that has left its trace with me
Lingers forever as a part of me.
I am yours.
However distant you may be.
There blows no wind
But wafts your scent to me;
There sings no bird
But calls your name to me.
Each memory that has left its trace with me
Lingers forever as a part of me.
However distant you may be.
There blows no wind
But wafts your scent to me;
There sings no bird
But calls your name to me.
Each memory that has left its trace with me
Lingers forever as a part of me.
However distant you may be.
There blows no wind
But wafts your scent to me;
There sings no bird
But calls your name to me.
Each memory that has left its trace with me
Lingers forever as a part of me.

I'm surprised no one else has commented. This is such a beautiful, simple love song.
The lyrics are lifted straight from the classic star-crossed love story of Layla and Majnun. The pair were deeply in love, but Layla's father forbade their union. Majnun went crazy (the name means "madman") and lived in the wild, composing poems for his love. At one point he comes upon a hunter about to slaughter a stag and buys the stag's freedom. He tells it to go free and that if it sees Layla, to tell her this:
I am yours, however distant you may be. Your sorrow, when you grieve, brings grief to me. There blows no wind but wafts your scent to me. There sings no bird but calls your name to me. Each memory that has left its trace with me Lingers for ever, as if part of me.
A truly beautiful story and a wonderful read, which clearly left an impression on Clapton.
"Unleash upon me the saga of being in love. O friend, be my Layla, for I am Majnun."
Wow thanks Venus, I never knew that. It makes the song even more beautiful now.
I love this song because the word "love" is not included in the lyrics, it is just very poetic. This is the first love song that I dedicated to the love of my life, and the second song was "Real Love" written by John Lennon, recorded after his death, which the word love is included in the lyrics several times.
