It’s here! Lea Michele (Rachel) has just shared a preview of “You’re Mine,” one of the two songs she wrote for her late boyfriend, Cory Monteith (Finn). The 28-second clip, released on February 10, is currently streaming on SoundCloud.
“You’re Mine” is a song Lea recorded before Cory’s tragic July 2013 passing. After his death, she wrote a new song for her album called “If You Say So,” named for the last words Cory ever spoke to her. “If You Say So” has not yet been released, but it will also appear on Lea’s debut album, Louder, which comes out in March.
Both songs are very dear to Lea’s heart. Listening to “You’re Mine,” actually made Lea tear up while she was being interviewed for her November 2013 Elle interview. “It makes me so happy, this song,” she said at the time. “It makes me think so much of Cory. It was ours. When I think of him, I play this.”
“You’re Mine” Lyrics
You’re insecure but I was so sure, why I wanted you
It’s so powerful, and little girl, why I wanted you
So I told you so, wanted you to know
We’ve just one life to live
And I told you all my dreams and fear
And you looked at me and your eyes filled with tears
And you said those three words, I’ve been waiting for
You became a part of me
You’re mine, for life
And I’ll be by your side
We are entwined
You’re mine, for life
Hold me until we go, oh yes, and you will love
I’m yours, you’re mine
I’m yours, you’re mine
I’m so happy you found the place for me, where you wanted me
Somes insecurities, and two happy beings, where you wanted me
Then you told me, wanted me to know
You let the past go
And I told you all my dreams and fear
And you looked at me and your eyes filled with tears
And you said those three words, I’ve been waiting for
You became a part of me
You’re mine, for life
And I’ll be by your side
We are entwined
You’re mine, for life
Hold me until we go, oh yes, and you will love
I’m yours, you’re mine
I’m yours, you’re mine
I’m yours, you’re mine
I’m yours, you’re mine
