The Gift Of Love


Back in nineteen seventy-two
God gave me the gift of you,
Here, He said, a brand new baby
Turn her to a gorgeous lady

So I took your tiny hand
Tried to  make you understand
Life is precious, use it well
Try not to live a living hell

Life is good, but sometimes too
Things will happen bad to you
Then is when your head held high
You raise your eyes up to the sky

After all is said and done
That Father! is the only one
Who will be with you day and night
Giving you the will to fight

Count your blessings and you`ll see
How wonderful His gift can be
How life `though rocky can be fun
Even when you`re twenty-one?

Love around you every day
Every kind in every way
More precious than a pot of gold
Is all the love that you can hold

Give it back and you will see
No matter what, it`s good to be
Loves the only thing that`s true
Darling child I give to you

All my love and all my heart
As I did right from the start
Have a happy thirty-five
Feel just glad, to be a live
