This Gift Lyrics by 98 Degrees
The snow is falling
The city is white
Your eyes are shining
like diamonds tonight
And we’re all alone
There’s no one home
You’re finally in my arms again
The night is silent
And Christmas is here
I couldn’t ask for more than having ya near
‘Cause I love you girl (love you girl)
And I always will (always will)
And now I know the moment is right
The moment is right
Cause I’ve been waiting to give this gift tonight
I’m down on my knees
There’s no better time
It’s something to last for as long as you live
Tonight I’m gonna give you all my heart can give
I thought I’d give you something shiny and new
I’d try to find something worthy of you
But I realized when I looked inside
There’s some things that money can’t buy (oh no)
I feel the magic whenever you’re near
I feel it even more this time of the year
Cause I love you girl (love you girl)
I always will (always will)
And now I know the moment is right
The moment is right
[Chorus]
You know I’ll always be true to you
And you know I’m the one you can turn to
Any time, any place, or anywhere
You know that I’ll always be there
[Chorus]
