Come and sing these songs with me and walk these velvet hills.

What will each new day bring into this world so still?

Oh, to breath this air so sweet and wear this life like silk,

with grateful hearts we reach for this,

this is the gift... this is the gift.



This is the gift,

this chance to laugh and love and live

and kiss the faithful hand that gives.

This is the gift.



So, come and "dance this dance with me" in the garden of these hours.

Watch as our dreams grow into memories like flowers,

then lay us down to sleep to wear a crown of stars

and know for after all this is,

this is the gift... this is the gift.



This is the gift,

this chance to laugh and love and live

and kiss the faithful hand that gives.

This is the gift... this is the gift.
