The Greatest Gift - English Lyrics
1st verse: This year I am going to give The Greatest Gift of All It will overshadow all gifts past, Yet the price I'll pay is small. It's a wondrous gift, a precious gift For others and for me. It's a real "do unto others" gift. It's the best gift to receive. Refrain: Oh the clock keeps ticking. I'm not getting any younger. And the world keeps turning. What's the purpose of this life? See the seasons changing. I have very little time now. But I'll give another That which I have loved so much. 2nd verse: In these fleeting, short and numbered days, I've felt and I have seen The green grass, blue skies, the sun, the warmth Of loved ones close to me. And I owe all that I've lived and seen To the fact that I'm alive. What a greater gift to give someone Than the precious gift of life? (Refrain) 3rd verse: I can give life to a precious child, But it's not the only way. I can also give the gift of life By not taking it away. For the warmth, the sun, the Springtime breeze, All creatures love these too. Why would I extinguish their short lives So that they can be my food? (Refrain)
