Choose an album
You, with your hand outstretched
Finger on the key
This lock that you release
Is opening but isn’t free
And I hope that you can see
How it beats inside of me
Instead of pushing fear aside
I want to run I want to hide
I am vulnerably yours
She, who is wanting me
Whose touch can make me cry
I can only understand
By never asking her why
Hear the contradictions fly
And as hard as I may try
Every truth becomes a lie
In the ache of her reply
I am passionately…
Yours
And the saddest eyes are
Yours
And the softest skin is
Yours
And the hope I borrow is
Yours
So won’t you let me in I’m yours
All that I begin is yours
Every prize I win is yours
At your feet again I’m yours
All I am is yours
All I am is wanting you
I’ve fallen down and I can’t seem to come to
If I should die before I wake
I commend my soul into this ache
Up above the world so high
Where the water tends to meet the sky
She’s all I’m after by the toe
And I won’t let go…
And I wanted you to know
That if you reap what you would sow
I would take it blow by blow
All I am is…
Yours
And the saddest eyes are
Yours
And the softest skin is
Yours
And the hope I borrow is
Yours
So won’t you let me in I’m yours
All that I begin is yours
Every prize I win is yours
At your feet again I’m yours
All I am is yours
Yours

I just wanted to thank you all for this song. I hadn’t thought of “Yours” for a while- over four years to be exact, when yesterday, my 9-year old daughter asked me what my favorite song was. As I automatically answered “Yours, by Blues Traveler”, I felt a flood of memories strike. You see, this was the song that describes the feelings I have for my wife. This was the song that I played for her after I got back from Iraq, and found I couldn’t explain to her what I felt anymore. This was the song I had played during a beautiful photo montage at her funeral after she died of breast cancer in 2006 at the age of thirty-two. And this was the song I want my daughter to hear, when she asks me what I remember of momma. My humble thanks go out to you. It means the world to me, and I wanted you all to know that.
Sincerely,
Keith Crook

Keith, I don’t know if you will ever read this, but we are here for you man. That’s a horrible thing to have happen.
I love this song as well. I’ve been with a few girls in my time, but I’ve only ever loved one of them. This song makes me feel that same way I did before we split up.

Hey Blues Travelers. This is the perfect lovesong. If you want to get lost in a song you just have to play this song loud and close your eyes. John, you move me!

Hey guys… thanks so very much for this song. Only a handful of songs have an impact on me emotionally and this is one of them. But what makes this special is that this is the only song that has an equal impact on my wife and I in the same way. She still listens to it and is moved to tears. Thanks again and thanks very much for bringing blues music to a new generation.
