Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Winter snow is falling down Children laughing all around Lights are turning on like a fairy tale come true Sittin' by the fire we made You're the answer when I prayed I would find someone and baby I found you [Chorus:] And all I want is to hold you forever All I need is you more everyday You saved my heart from being broken apart You gave your love away And I'm thankful everyday For the gift Watching as you softly sleep What I'd give if I could keep Just this moment if all of time stood still But the colors fade away And the years will make us gray But baby in my eyes you'll still be beautiful [Chorus: x2] Can't find the words to say Thank you for the gift
