The Loving Gift

[Intro] C  G  F  C  G  F  C

C             G          F                 C
You gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
F             G                 C
You gave me a song I learned to sing
                    G                  F               C
You showed me some beauty through the windows of your soul
        F           G                 C
And you showed me a world I've never seen
      F              G             F         C
Each giving to the other love and givin' it away
     F                 C                G
We spent the precious time we knew was borrowed
        C               G          F               C
'Cause you gave me the courage to live with yesterday
  G               C          G  F  C   G  F  C
And you gave me tomorrow
C              G         F             C
You gave me a candle to light my way to bed
F                G                 C
You erased those shadows I'd been seeing
C                  G        F             C
You brought me a pillow to rest my weary head
      F           G              C
You taught me a gentle way of dreaming
     F      G                F              C
And if you leave me I'll be richer when you go
   F              C               G
A richer with the loving gift you gave me
           C          G          F                C
'Cause you gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
G                  C
And you gave me a baby
