The lyrics above are wrong. He says let me give my life TO you, not FOR you. There is a huge difference. He isn't talking about laying down and dying for her (although he probably would have.) The ultimate gift he can give to her is himself, and she can do with him what she wants. He believes he is a better person with her. This guy was a nature lover. The only way he could express his love for his wife Annie was to liken it to the beautiful things in nature.
Possibly one of the most romantic songs ever written. This is the lullaby I sing to my baby son. This and Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel.
