The Gift
Wwords and music by MD Morrell (SOCAN) and William Dominic (Bill) DiLuigi (SESAC)

lyrics

1/ This is not a silent night, I don't really feel no peace on earth
Dig a little deeper in my pocket, I spent every dime I saved since birth
I got a pretty dress for ma, dad's the next one on my list
There's so many people left to buy for, there's got to be more to Christmas

Ch/ What about family? What about giving of your precious time?
The greatest gift you can not buy me, and that gift's already mine

2/ Don't you love a child's eyes, lit up with happiness and cheer?
They said a child will someday lead us, I think that child's already here

Ch/ What about caring? What about giving of your precious time?
The greatest gift you can not buy me, and that gift's already mine

Br/ I can't breathe this tinseled atmosphere, frozen smiles and obligated cheer
My shiny treasure is already here, the ones that I hold dear

3/ So enjoy your holiday, I hope you surely get your fill
But think of the one whose cup is empty, who has no peace and comfort still

Ch/ What about sharing? What about giving of your precious time?
The greatest gift you can not buy me, and that gift's already mine
