about

Beth and I love Marty Robbins’ version of this song, although it’s been covered by lots of artists. “Yours” is originally a Spanish folk song from the early 1900s, with English lyrics added later. It’s a beautiful love song, and gave me the opportunity to teach the Missus some Spanish (I am from Miami, ya know!) The band really nails the Mariachi-style rhythm, and I get to trade acoustic guitar licks back and forth with my brother-in-law Joe Clark. I love the way it all came together, and most of all, for me, the lyrics echo the forever love I have in my heart for my wife, the Mother of our babies, and my partner-in-rhyme. And her Español es muy buena, verdad?!?

lyrics

Yours 'til the stars have no glory
Yours till the birds fail to sing
Yours 'til the end of life's story
This pledge to you dear I bring

Yours in the gray of December
Here or on far distant shore
I've never loved anyone
The way I love you
How could I
When I was born to be
Just yours

Cuando se quiere de veras
Como te quiero yo a ti
Es imposible mi cielo
Tan seperados vivir

Cuando se quiere de veras
Como te quiero yo a ti
Es imposible mi cielo
Tan seperados vivir

Yours 'til the stars have no glory
Yours till the birds fail to sing
Yours 'til the end of life's story
This pledge to you dear I bring

Yours in the gray of December
Here or on far distant shore
I've never loved anyone
The way I love you
How could I
When I was born to be
Just yours
