This Gift — текст песни (Chapman Gary)

It`s Christmas again
Families and friends
Chasing from store to store
Here`s last minute me
Hoping to see
Just what you`re wishing for
We are more than just friends
As the gift should show
Standing here, all at once I know
This gift I bring
It`s yours for the taking
Wrapped in love
It took a lifetime making
From my heart
Straight to your longing
This gift I bring
Is simple and free
And comes with a guarantee
I give you me
It may not be much
A smile or a touch
But it`s all yours for all time
It`s here for today
And won`t go away
`Cause I`m not the leaving kind
Here`s my fragile heart
It is yours to break
You may say no
But that`s a risk I`ll take
This gift I bring
It`s yours for the living
Wrapped in love, it`s the gift I`m giving
From my heart
Straight to your longing
This gift I bring
Is simple and free
And comes with a guarantee
From now on
When the wind is blowing
And the tears are flowing like rain
You`ll be safe
In the shelter of this gift
It`s yours for the taking
Wrapped in love, it took a lifetime making
From my heart
Straight to your longing
I hope you smile
I guess we`ll see
This gift I bring
It`s yours for free
It comes with a guarantee
I give you me
