The Loving Gift

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 get 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
