John Schlitt - The Gift (Dorla's Song) lyrics

We were kids, we were young She was pretty, I was dumb - new love Through the years, good and bad Never knew just what I had - true love Busy chasing all my selfish dreams She saw something else I couldn't see (chorus) She picks me up when I fall apart She's the only fire that warms my heart It's a blessing every day I get to see her face I could never ever ask for more than this She is such a gift Thank you for the gift Facing fears every day She always knows just what to say - with love Finding faith, hand in hand She makes me a better man - through love In a world where trust is hard to find Can't believe I get to call her mine (repeat chorus) I could thank You for so many things The life I've lived, the things I've seen But if I had to choose I'd throw it all away 'Cause the greatest gift You've given me Is standing right in front of me She's the answer to every prayer I've ever prayed (repeat chorus) She is such a gift Lord, thank you for the gift
