I searched all through the day,
And searched all through the night.
For the perfect gift to give you;
The one that seamed just right.
I scattered through my mind
For a single place to start,
But what I didn’t know
Was to search inside my heart.
I want to give you something special
That will never go away.
Something that will help you get
Through each and every day.
Please Lord just send to me a clue
Of a single place to start.
He said, “My child the perfect gift
You’ll find inside your heart.”
The moment that you held me,
And I looked into your eyes…
It hit me! The perfect gift is love,
And in my heart is where it lies!
So please take this gift of love,
And never set it free…
So each and every day you’ll share
The most special part of me.
