Lyrics

GREATEST GIFT
by Jerry Glidewell & Chad Little

1) It was a cold day in 1995,
in a small country church he stood nervously by his bride
Oh how pretty she was.
He was dressed in his uniform so proud
the preacher said "soldier I think the time is now"
that's when he said these vows.

CHORUS: The greatest gift in this life is love
and that's what you've given to me
You lift my spirits high and keep my faith so strong
Our love, will always carry on.

2) The Army called him up and said he had to go
he promised her that he would soon be home
Oh but the war raged on.
One day two men pulled up by the curb
holding his tags and a letter he had addressed to her
these were his final words.

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge: In the same little church where they started out
they covered him with a flag
As she told him goodbye, she broke down
and said "you're gonna be a dad" (and she cried)

REPEAT CHORUS & TAG
