THE LOVING GIFT
E                A                         D
You gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
E              A                 D
You gave me a song I learned to sing
               E             A                    D
You showed me some beauty through the windows of your soul
     E            A              D
And you showed me a world I've never seen

A               E                   A         D
Each giving to the other love and givin' it away
     A                 D            E
We spent the precious time we knew was borrowed
        D           E          A               D             
'Cause you gave me the courage to live with yesterday
     A              D
And you gave me tomorrow

     E                     A              D
You gave me a candle to light my way to bed
      E      A       D
You erased those shadows I'd been seeing
                   E        A             D
You brought me a pillow to rest my weary head
      E           A              D
You taught me a gentle way of dreaming

    A        E          A               D 
And if you leave me I'll be richer when you go
      A           D               E
Just living with the loving gift you gave me
   D             E        A                       D
'Cause you gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
     A             D
And you gave me a baby
