The Gift

I have this little secret that I've never told
I once asked god for the gift of love
Yes
It was you I wanted to hold
Now many years have come to pass
And still I remember when
I cried and begged for you each night
My love, may heart, my friend
Yes thirty years have come to pass
And still I remember when
I once asked god for the gift of love 
And he also gave me a friend.
