The Gift That I Give You
I will not give you the moon
rather I will give you moonlight
glowing on a calm sea
where the stars glittering gleams
lay on top of each wave, rolling onto the shore
where I will give you my most precious jewel
my heart
I will not give you the sun
rather I will give you romantic evenings
of candlelight whose flames
glow on the fallen leaves of Autumn
as wine is shared between lovers
where I will give you my most precious gift
my heart
I give my heart to you, its worthiness
Which holds such things yearning dreams are made of
To kiss you tender in love's warmest bliss
Where Angelic wings are formed to fly with love
I'll pause for the glorious glow in your eyes
That drips love softly from our beating heart
To welcome years of romantic surprize
Through glistening joy welcomed smiles impart
This love soaring far above earthly bond
Where dreamers dream of love never-ending
To always last forever and beyond
Even unto death as we're ascending
I will give to you all that I was
and all that I am
I have no diamonds or rubies red
I have only my most precious jewel to give
my heart
