You gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
You gave me a song I've learned to sing
You showed me some beauty
Through the windows of your soul
And you showed me a world I've never seen
Chorus:
Each giving to the other loving giving it away
We spent the precious time we knew was borrowed
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
Chorus:
And even if you leave me I'll be richer when you go
I'm richer with the loving gift you gave me
Because you gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
And you gave me a baby
