The Gift
98 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The snow is falling, the city is white
Your eyes are shining like diamonds tonight
And we're all alone
There's no one home
You're finally in my arms again
The night is silent
And Christmas is here
I couldn't ask for more than having you near
'Cause I love you girl
I always will
And now I know the moment is right

'Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time
It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight I'm going to give you (oh girl!) all my heart can give

I thought I'd give you something shiny and new
I tried to find something worthy of you
But I realized, when I looked inside
There's some things that money can't buy
Oh no
I feel the magic, whenever you're near
I feel it even more this time of the year
'Cause I love you girl
I always will
And now I know the moment is right

'Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time
It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight I'm going to give you all my heart can give

You know I'll always be true to you
And you know I'm the one you can turn to
Oh oh yeah
Any time, any place, or anywhere
You know that I'll always be there

'Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time
It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight I'm going to give you all my heart can give

'Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time




It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight I'm going to give you all my heart can give

The snow is falling
The city is white
Your eyes are shining

And we're all alone
There's no one home
You're finally in my arms again

I couldn't ask for more than having ya near
'Cause I love you girl (love you girl)
And I always will (always will)
And now I know the moment is right

Tonight I'm gonna give you all my heart can give

I thought I'd give you something shiny and new
I'd try to find something worthy of you
But I realized when I looked inside
There's some things that money can't buy (oh no)

I feel the magic whenever you're near
I feel it even more this time of the year
Cause I love you girl (love you girl)
I always will (always will)
And now I know the moment is right
The moment is right

[Chorus]

You know I'll always be true to you
And you know I'm the one you can turn to
Any time, any place, or anywhere
You know that I'll always be there

This is such a classic song. Itโ€™s just not Christmastime without 98Degrees. But all their music is great. They are talented in a timeless way. I hope GenZ and future generations can continue to appreciate their music.
