My Gift
by Michael O'Brien

Album: Sing Me to Sleep, Daddy

If I had the words of poets
You know I'd find a way
To touch your heart with verses sweet
Of how I feel today
And if I had the music of the wind
I'd gently touch your face
And call the trees to dance for you
Chase the sun into its place

But I was blessed with none of these
And so my gift to you
Is a simple one that's pure of heart
I hope that it will do

I love you with all I am
And all I hope to be
I love you for making life
So clear to me
Your daddy's love and God above
Will keep you through the night
And when you dream, believe one thing
I'll never leave your side

If I had an artist's hands
I'd make a canvas dance
To paint the world like that for you
I'd die to have the chance
Well, I can't give you a rainbow
But one thing I can do
Our home will be my masterpiece
And I'll be there for you

Though gifts of art and word and song
Are precious things to give
My heart is yours, my little one
As long as we both live

I love you with all I am
And all I hope to be
I love you for making life
So clear to me
Your daddy's love and God above
Will keep you through the night
And when you dream, believe one thing
I'll never leave your side
