"Everything I Own" is a song written by David Gates. Although this song seems to be about a broken relationship, Gates revealed that it was written in memory of his father who died in 1963 before he achieved his success with Bread.. According to the book 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, at his father's funeral, a friend took David Gates aside and said, "Your dad was so proud of what you were doing." David agreed, "My success would have been so special to him as he was my greatest influence. So I decided to write and record 'Everything I Own' about him. (Source: Wikipedia)
