Several of his albums feature arrangements of children's music; he has produced two Christmas-themed albums The Gift (1997) and Peace (2003); and his 2005 album Grace concentrates on arrangements of well-known Christian music.
Jim Brickman has also starred in the now-on-DVD PBS specials "My Romance: An Evening with Jim Brickman", "Love Songs & Lullabies" and "The Disney Songbook." In 2006, he sponsored his first Jim Brickman Valentine's Day Cruise with Carnival Cruise Lines which has become an annual event.
Your Love
Jim Brickman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not the ring, I wear around my finger
There's nothing in all the world I need
When I have you here beside me,
Here beside me
So you could give me wings to fly
And catch me if I fall
So I could wish on them all
But I couldnt as for more
'cause your love is the greatest gift of all
In your arms, I found a strength inside me
And in your eyes there's a light to guide me
I would be lost with out you
And all that my heart could ever want
Has come true
So you could give me wings to fly
And catch me if I fall
Or pull the stars down from the sky
So I could wish on them all
But I couldnt as for more
'Cause your love is the greatest gift of all
You could offer me the sun, the moon
And I would still believe
You gave me everything
When you gave your heart to me
So you could give me wings to fly
And catch me if I fall
Or pull the stars down from the sky
So I could wish on them all
But I couldnt as for more
'Cause your love is the greatest gift of all

It's not the flowers, wrapped in fancy paper
I don't need tangible gifts to feel loved.

There's nothing in all the world I need
Everything I need is already with me.
When I have you here beside me,
Your physical presence is enough to make me feel complete.
So you could give me wings to fly
You give me the freedom to chase my dreams.

With you around, I have everything I need to find my way.
I would be lost without you
You're my compass, my rock in life.
And all that my heart could ever want
You fulfill all my deepest desires.
Has come true
With you, my wildest dreams have become reality.
You could offer me the sun, the moon
Even if you gave me everything in the world,
And I would still believe
My love for you will never waver.
You gave me everything
Your love is more than enough for me.
When you gave your heart to me
Your love is the greatest gift of all!

"Your Love"
(feat. Michelle Wright)
It's not the flowers wrapped in fancy paper
It's not the ring I wear around my finger
There's nothing in all the world I need
When I have you here beside me, here beside me
So you could give me wings to fly
And catch me if I fall
Or pull the stars down from the sky
So I could wish on them all
But I couldn't ask for more
'Cause your love is the greatest gift of all
In your arms, I found a strength inside me
And in your eyes there's a light to guide me
I would be lost without you
And all that my heart could ever want has come true
So you could give me wings to fly
And catch me if I fall
Or pull the stars down from the sky
So I could wish on them all
But I couldn't ask for more
'Cause your love is the greatest gift of all
You could offer me the sun, the moon
And I would still believe
You gave me everything
When you gave your heart to me
But I couldn't ask for more
'Cause your love is the greatest gift of all
You could give me wings to fly
And catch me if I fall
Pull the stars down from the sky
So I could wish on them all
But I couldn't ask for more
'Cause your love is the greatest gift of all
Your love is the greatest gift of all
The greatest gift of all
