Lyrics

The other day you came to me 
with a crumpled cardboard box
tied in ribbon so carefully.
a single rose on top.
 
You placed the package in my hand
I let the wrapping fall away
our eyes met, we understand
far beyond what words can say
 
No stones or pearls were tucked inside,
oh I could barely breathe;
just a photo with your smile,
The gift was you and you're all I need:
 
Freely given, freely received
Freely given, freely received 
myths and legends are born when we believe
Freely given, freely received
 
Come live with me, we'll make a feast 
of buttered popcorn and wine
we’ll laugh and love and curl to sleep
with your heart surrounding mine
 
No stones or pearls will mark our time 
together we will breathe
in the riches of our minds.
The gift is you and you're all I need:


Crystal kingdoms may shine all around us, 
See the faces in the windows have been airbrushed
Flattered souls, buying sorry hearts with gold.
Missing natural, they’ll know,
what's real beyond the fantasy
oh how I feel your love for me.
