Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Children laughing all around
Lights are turning on like a fairy tale come true
Sittin' by the fire we made
You're the answer when I prayed
I would find someone and baby I found you
[Chorus:]
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart from being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful everyday
For the gift
Watching as you softly sleep
What I'd give if I could keep
Just this moment if all of time stood still
But the colors fade away
And the years will make us gray
But baby in my eyes you'll still be beautiful
[Chorus: x2]
Can't find the words to say
Thank you for the gift

And baby I found you
All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more every day
You saved my heart
From being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful every day
For the gift
Watching as you softly sleep
What I'd give if I could keep
Just this moment
If only time stood still
But the colors fade away
And the years will make us grey
But baby in my eyes
You'll still be beautiful
All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more every day
You saved my heart
From being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful every day
For the gift
All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more every day
You saved my heart
From being broken apart
You gave your love away
I can't find the words to say
That I'm thankful every day
For the gift

My favorite song of all times, Jim Brickman is my favorite artist also. Who couldn't absolutely love this song, it talks about everything wonderful in life: Snow, children, lights, fairytales, fireplace, and someone special that you prayed for and was given. Who could want for more. Totally awesome song.

Hello
@RS-hg5lj
After meeting as children, and with many common friends, we never met again until 40 years later. That was in 2014. I have retired from a military career and moved back to our hometown. She was 7 years younger than me. While in a grocery store check out line, we started a casual conversation. One question led to another, and suddenly we realized we met years ago. Her mother and my aunt were best friends and that's where we had met briefly as kids. She was about 6 and I was 12 or 13. Her bother was on my baseball team. My father worked for her grandparents on their farm. We suddenly realized we had three generations of connections and knew a huge number of people in common, but never had met again until that day, and 10 years after I returned to the area. She lived 3 miles from me and drove by my house every day. It was instant sparks, immediate attraction, Twin Flames, and soul mates like a bolt of lightening. I've always been a Jim Brickman fan and I introduced her to his music. This song was our special song and we love to play it often. Especially rededicating it to each other during the Christmas holiday. She passed away suddenly last year, and my heart still breaks, but this song captures the essence of our love for each other and how important it is to take the chance and find love.
