C             G          F                 C 
You gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold 
F             G                 C 
You gave me a song I learned to sing 
                    G                  F               C 
You showed me some beauty through the windows of your soul 
        F           G                 C 
And you showed me a world I've never seen 
      F              G             F         C 
Each giving to the other love and givin' it away 
     F                 C                G 
We spent the precious time we knew was borrowed 
        C               G          F               C 
'Cause you gave me the courage to live with yesterday 
  G               C          G  F  C   G  F  C 
And you gave me tomorrow 
C              G         F             C 
You gave me a candle to light my way to bed 
F                G                 C 
You erased those shadows I'd been seeing 
C                  G        F             C 
You brought me a pillow to rest my weary head 
      F           G              C 
You taught me a gentle way of dreaming 
     F      G                F              C 
And if you leave me I'll be richer when you go 
   F              C               G 
A richer with the loving gift you gave me 
           C          G          F                C 
'Cause you gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold 
G                  C 
And you gave me a baby
