You gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
You gave me a song I learned to sing
You showed me some beauty through the windows of your soul
And you showed me a world I´ve never seen

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

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

And even if you leave me I´ll be richer when you go
I´m richer with the loving gift you gave me
´Cause you gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
And you gave me a baby
