This Gift lyrics - Deborah Cox

[from "Meet The Browns" soundtrack]

[Verse 1]
You changed my life, it’s really happening.
It’s like I’m in a dream.
Your sacrifice, it made me change my mind.
Thought all men were just the same. (Just the same)
You made me trust again, made me feel safe and loved.
You didn’t pressure me, gave me a chance to open up my heart.

[Hook]
I won’t be the one to pull away.
Tell me you’re the man that’s gunna stay.
I know that this gift can last, say you’ll never leave me, and I’ll always be right here.

[Chorus]
This gift…opened up my heart to you.
This gift…a dream that was built just for two.
This gift…is everything I cherished; you want my hand in marriage.
Your love is the greatest gift of all.

This gift…is everything I couldn’t have.
This gift…I accept now take my hand.
This gift…showed me how to love thee; this is how it should be.
Your love is the greatest gift of all.

[Verse 2]
You are the only man to show me that love don’t hurt.
You understand my pain
That’s why I need you like a flower that needs the rain.

[Hook]
I won’t be the one to pull away.
Tell me you’re the man that’s gunna stay.
I know that this gift can last, say you’ll never leave me, and I’ll always be right here.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
This picture perfect happiness, the answer to our prayers.
I’m holding on with no regrets
Cause I’m so blessed that you gave me….

(This gift)
That you gave me this gift.
I just wanna thank you for giving me this gift.
(This gift)
Everything I didn’t have.
(This gift)
I accept now take my hand.
Tell me that you love me, this is how it should be.
This gift is the greatest gift of all.
