The Loving Gift

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 --- The Loving Gift - Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash
