The Gift

Jim Brickman (born November 20, 1961), an American songwriter and pianist who released his first Christmas CD, The Gift with the title song in 1997.

Love is always bestowed as a gift 

- freely, willingly and without expectation. 

We don't love to be loved; we love to love. 

      

THE GIFT

Jim Brickman with Anne Cochran and Tracy Silverman

Winter snow is falling down

Children laughing all around

Lights are turning on 

Like a fairy tale come true

Sitting by the fire we made

You're the answer when I prayed

I would find someone

And baby I found you

All I want is to hold you forever

All I need is you more every day

You saved my heart from being broken apart

You gave your love away

And I'm thankful every day

For the gift

Watching as you softly sleep

What I'd give if I could keep

Just this moment

If only time stood still

But the colors fade away

And the years will make us grey

But baby in my eyes

You'll still be beautiful

All I want is to hold you forever

All I need is you more every day

You saved my heart from being broken apart

You gave your love away

(I can't find the words to say)

And I'm thankful every day

For the gift
