Lyrics I'd Give My Life for You - Miss Saigon - International Cast

You, who I cradled in my arms
You
Asking as little as you can
Little snip of a little man
I know I'd give my life for you

You didn't ask me to be born
You
Why should you learn of war or pain?
To be sure you're not hurt again
I swear, I'd give my life for you

I've tasted love beyond all fear
And you should know it's love that brought you here
And in one perfect night
When the stars burned like new
I knew what I must do
I'll give you a million things I'll never own
I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown

You will be who you want to be
You
Can choose whatever heaven grants
As long as you can have your chance
I swear, I'll give my life for you

Sometimes I wake up, reaching for him
I feel his shadow brush my head
But there's just moonlight on my bed
Was he a ghost?
Was he a lie
That made my body laugh and cry?
Then by my side the proof I see, his little one
Gods of the sun
Bring him to me

You will be who you want to be
You
Can choose whatever heaven grants
As long as you can have your chance
I swear, I'll give my life for you

No one can stop what I must do
I swear, I'll give my life for you
