What Can I Give You?

You have given so much to me
I don't know where to begin
You've given me love, respect and dignity
and you've given me a wonderful friend

You've given me hope for the future
and promises of life yet to come
you've given me self-worth and confidence
you've shown me that life can be fun

You've given me reason to rise in the morn
and dreams to dream at night
but I haven't given you near enough
so it's time to make things right

I want to give you something
that can't be bought or sold
something that you can treasure
worth more than silver or gold

So this precious gift I give you
I do not easily part
I give to you, my life, my love
I give to you my heart...

Someday, someone will want this heart of mine.
