THE GIFT
©2006 Jeannette Vig
Since we first got together
Being with you is such a pleasure
Now our love grows stronger every day
I so enjoy your company
You ask me "What do you want?"
"Is there anything that you need?"
It's funny you should ask me, darling,
'Cause I was just thinking, honey
You are the gift, the present I seek
I'm so wrapped up in your mystery
I don't want diamonds, platinum or gold
All that stuff just leaves me cold
You are the gift, the present I seek
You are a precious gift to me
To me you're deeply satisfying
I'm in love with you, I cannot hide it
My love cannot be bought or sold
All I really want is your hand to hold
Sure, it's wonderful, to get a present with a shiny bow
Sure, I like material things, sure I like to play with them
But if you add it all up, what have you really got?
I just want to let you know, you are the gift I'm looking for
I wonder if you really know
Just how deep and real my feelings go
I wonder if you'd be surprised
To know how grateful I am you are in my life
You are the gift, the present I seek
I'm so wrapped up in your mystery
I don't want diamonds, platinum or gold
All that stuff just leaves me cold
You are the gift, the present I seek
You are a precious gift to me
