| The Loving Gift 
 You gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
 You gave me a song I learned 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 love and givin' 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
