This is my place
And I wanna share it with you

I got myself a place to dream
I touch the wind
Caress the sea
And I want you there
To hold me
To love me there is to know me

Where the silver bird of tomorrow
Will fly away with the sorrow
And time won’t pass for you and I
We’ll be standing still
As the world goes by

This is my place
And I wanna share it with you

I’ve got the sky to shelter me
And like the tide I’m moving free
I’ve waited here for you only
We will walk along
Never lonely

This is my retreat, we’re together
And my place is now even better
My life’s reflected on the sand
And it shows my love
When I touch your hand

This is my place
And I wanna share it with you
I wanna share, I wanna share it with you
This is my place

And you know wherever your place is
Loving only makes it better
And I want you there to hold me
To love me there is to know me

Where the silver bird of tomorrow
Will fly away with the sorrow
And time won’t pass for you and I
We’ll be standing still
As the world goes round

This is my place
This is my place
This is my place

About Lyrics and My Place by Diana Ross

The lyrics to My Place are just the words, phrases, verses and chorus that Diana Ross used when the song was created in 1970. The lyrics to My Place have both easy-to-spot meanings and hidden metaphors that have been discussed by the music press and fans, but only Diana Ross and any collaborators know all of the inspirations for the song.

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to My Place by Diana Ross. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to My Place" means the words set to the music of My Place, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Diana Ross. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to My Place and the lyrics to My Place are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Diana Ross who came here looking just for the lyrics to My Place, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
