The Gift

words and music: Allan Thomas and Randy Handley

Traveled the round world sailed the sea
Looking for who knows what
Lived like a king been knocked to my knees
Watched the doors open and shut
Played the game like a natural fool
But I won when I found you

Darlin' darlin' I love you
Like a blue-hearted melody
You're love is a revelation continually
What a gift you are Sometimes I really see
What a gift you are What a gift you are to me

Everyone's talkin' 'bout the end of the world
But my world's just begun
Started when you stormed into my life
About as subtle as a smoking gun
Must have looked too long in your voodoo eyes
Fell under your spell willingly

Darlin' darlin' I love you
Like a blue-hearted melody
This love is a celebration in every part of me
What a gift you are I had to find you eventually
What a gift you are What a gift you are to me

You're loving makes me humble
Sometimes I lose my nerve
I've got so much to tell you
In only three words only three words

Dendrin darling you haunt me with midnight reveries
You're love is relentless an all-time remedy
What a gift you are sometimes I really see
Just what a gift you are
I just keep discovering

Compelling imaginative shameless and free
You keep it up you gonna spoil me
Someone to hold to talk to baby
To kid and tease and kiss and squeeze all night
I know feel see it truly believe it this time
What a gift you are What a gift you are baby
What a gift you are to me
