THE GIFT
Jim Brickman
 

Bb                      F
  Winter snow is falling down
Gm                        F
  Children laughing all around
Eb                         Bb 
  Lights are turning on
          Cm                  F
Like a fairy tale come true 
Bb                   F
  Sitting by the fire we made
Gm                          F
  You're the answer when I prayed
Eb                          Bb
  I would find someone
       Cm                F
And baby I found you

Refrain 1
           Bb          Cm          F  
All I want is to hold you forever
        Bb             Cm             F
All I need is you more every day
         Bb         D7
You saved my heart
                   Gm       C7
From being broken apart
                       Bb
You gave your love away
F                          Bb
  And I'm thankful every day
F            Bb F Gm F Eb F
  For the gift

F                              C
  Watching as you softly sleep
Dm                     C7
  What I'll give if I could keep
Bb           F
  Just this moment
    Gm                  C7
If only time stood still 
F                       C7                       
  But the colors fade away
Dm                         C7
  And the years will make us grey
Bb            F
  But baby in my eyes
          Gm              C7
You'll still be beautiful

Refrain 2
         F            Gm            C7
All I want is to hold you forever
        F               Gm             C7
All I need is you more every day
        F             A7
You saved my heart
                   Dm        Gm
From being broken apart
                       F               C7
You gave your love away
                        F                  C7
I can't find the words to say
                          F              C7  
That I'm thankful everyday
             F    
For the gift
