When You Tell the World You’re Mine is a pop song recorded by Swedish singers Agnes and Björn Skifs. The song was first performed on the occasion of he Wedding of Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, and Daniel Westling on 19 June 2010. Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland engaged Jörgen Elofsson to compose ‘a song that expresses what we feel when we fall in love with someone’, especially for this occasion and as a gift to the bridal couple. The title and everything concerning the song was kept a secret until the actual performance during the wedding ceremony (see below).
To me, it has lovely Disney-like overtones giving the song a fairytale feel and would obviously be beautiful for use during the ceremony, but also for a first dance or cake cutting.
When You Tell The World You’re Mine
I’m standing by an angel
Tears well up inside
Feelings are belonging
Of gratitude and pride
I’m blinded by your presence
In this moment that we’re in
If God was to describe you
Where would he begin
Your colours blend together
And you become the light
If only you could see the way you shine
Darling when you tell the world you’re mine
You’re the future I believe in
I know you through and through
Your each and every heartbeat every breath
Every time I look at you
I’m blinded by your presence
In this moment that we’re in
If God was to describe you
Where would he begin
Your colours blend together
And you become the light
If only you could see the way you shine
Darling when you tell the world you’re mine
You’re mine against all odds my love
What we have it is unbreakable
If God was to describe you
Where would he begin
I’m blinded by your presence
In this moment that we’re in
If God was to describe you
Where would he begin
Your colours blend together
And you become the light
If only you could see the way you shine
Darling when you tell the world you’re mine
I’m standing by an angel
