Lyrics
THE SNOW IS FALLING OUTSIDE THE CHURCH TONIGHT
AS THEY CELEBRATE YOUR LIFE IN THE CANDLELIGHT
PEOPLE LAUGH AND CRY WHILE MEMORIES ARE SHARED
SEVEN LIVES ARE SPARED BECAUSE YOU CARED
GIVING THE GIFT OF LIFE, CHANGING THE WORLD
IT'S A MODERN MIRACLE; PAIN BECAME A PEARL
FADING HOPES ARE JUST A MEMORY
SECOND CHANCES REDEFINED
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL LEGACY
TO LEAVE BEHIND
YOUR HEART IS BEATING SOMEWHERE ELSE TONIGHT
THOSE ANGELIC EYES RESTORE AN OLD MAN'S SIGHT
FAR AWAY SOMEONE WILL BREATHE WITH EASE AGAIN
LIFE TAKES ON NEW MEANING FOR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS
GIVING THE GIFT OF LIFE, CHANGING THE WORLD
IT'S A MODERN MIRACLE; PAIN BECAME A PEARL
FADING HOPES ARE JUST A MEMORY
SECOND CHANCES REDEFINED
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL LEGACY
TO LEAVE BEHIND
bridge: IT ISN'T HARD TO SIGN A DONOR CARD
MAKE A DIFF'RENCE BE A SHINING STAR
GIVING THE GIFT OF LIFE, CHANGING THE WORLD
IT'S A MODERN MIRACLE; PAIN BECAME A PEARL
FADING HOPES ARE JUST A MEMORY
SECOND CHANCES REDEFINED
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL LEGACY
TO LEAVE BEHIND
GIVING THE GIFT OF LIFE TONIGHT
GIVING THE GIFT OF LIFE TONIGHT
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL LEGACY
