| You gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold you gave me a song I learn to sing
|
| You showed me some beauty through the windows of your soul
|
| And you showed me a world I’ve never seen
|
| Each giving to the other loving gift went it away
|
| We spent the precious time we knew was borrowed
|
| Cause you gave me the courage to live with yesterday and you gave me tomorrow
|
| You brought me a candle to light my way to bed
|
| You erased those shadows I’d been seeing
|
| You brought me a pillow to rest my weary head
|
| You taught me a gentle way of dreaming
|
| And even if you leave me I’ll be richer when you go
|
| I’m richer with the loving gift you gave me Cause you gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold and you gave me a baby |
