The Greatest Gift Of All
Jim Brickman Lyrics

It's not the flowers, wrapped in fancy paper
The true value of a gift does not lie in the presentation or packaging, but in the sentiment behind it.

It's not the ring, I wear around my finger
Material possessions do not hold more importance than the intangible feelings and connection shared between two people.

There's nothing in all the world I need

When I have you here beside me, here beside me
The presence and love of the artist's partner is the source of their happiness and contentment in life.

So you could give me wings to fly
Even if grand gestures or extravagant gifts were given to the artist, it still would not hold a candle to the love and support of their significant other.

And catch me if I fall
Even in times of hardship or failure, the partner will always be there to pick the singer back up through their love and devotion.

Or pull the stars down from the sky
