 C             G7         F                C
You gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
F             G7                    C
You gave me a song I've learned to sing
                    G7
You showed me some beauty
             F               C
Through the windows of your soul
          F         G7                 C
And you showed me a world I've never seen

Chorus:
      F            G7            F          C
Each giving to the other loving giving it away
     F                 C                G7
We spent the precious time we knew was borrowed
 C               G7         F               C
You gave me the courage to live with yesterday
F                  C
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

Chorus:
And even if you leave me I'll be richer when you go
I'm richer with the loving gift you gave me
Because you gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
And you gave me a baby
