Greatest Gift Lyrics

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is one of the greatest love songs that I know. Although, it makes it more cherished to those who do know of it, it's a shame that more people don't know about this beautiful song. One of the things that makes it so great is the fact that it can be a love song between not only lovers but between friends or family members. This song is the perfect way to describe what love is and feels like. It's a gift...the greatest gift you could have recieve. The song describes a flawless, passionate love. The love everyone hopes to have in their life.
