Walter Egan - Greatest Gift

i awake to my beating heart
you save my soul from falling apart
say goodbye i'm leaving the race
how i long for your embrace
how long did it take me to find?
so close i won't be left behind
i believe and to you i confess
i gave up on me
but you showed me happiness

your love is the greatest gift i could hope to receive
i'm on my way to being so complete
i'd make no change to a perfect idea
your love is the greatest gift i have ever seen

i found was missing inside
no longer does this girl need to hide
lay me down that i may be strong
'cause together is surely where we belong

nightly i pray, no harm befalls you
needless to say, it's all i can do
your every desire i promise no less
it's true i can say, because of you i've found happiness
