What am I to you? Tell me darlin' true To me you are the sea Vast as you can be And deep the shade of blue When you're feelin' low Oh to whom else do you go? See I'd cry if you hurt I'd give you my last shirt Because I love you so Now if my sky should fall Would you even call? I've opened up my heart I never want to part I'm givin' you the ball When I look in your eyes I can feel the butterflies I'll love you when you're blue But tell me darlin' true What am I to you? Now if my sky should fall Would you even call? I've opened up my heart I never wanna part Givin' you the ball When I look in your eyes I can feel the butterflies Could you find a love in me? Would you carve me in a tree? Don't fill my heart with lies I will love you when you're blue But tell me darlin' true What am I to you?
