Lyrics

The Gift
©Jeffrey C. Ashbaker 9-2013/1-2014

Life is much quicker than the river often flows
Love is like a mountain, quiet as it grows
Each must find a rhythm, equal to its rhyme
Each one has its moment and each has its time

Oh Life is to live...everyday
And Love is the Gift

--- Chorus ---
Thorn and blossom, flesh and blood
Take a little, give enough
To be touched, to be loved...and love
To be given life and love
-----------------
Now I can't stop dying, it's useless to try
This time I'm laughing, before I cry
All of my grudges are just waving goodbye
All of a sudden, there's light in the sky

Oh Life is to live...everyday
And Love is the Gift

-Repeat Chorus-
-Repeat Intro-

Sometimes I'm looking, sometimes you see
One time I noticed, You looking back at me
Every so often, when I kiss you good night
I live and I give and I love our good life

Oh Life is to live...everyday
And Love is the Gift
And Love is the Gift
And Love is the Gift

good harmonies, nice guitar fills and solo

Nice song. I see it is folk but reminds more of country style. Overall nice dong. I enjoyed it

The song was well recorded and produced. I think the writer shows promise as a lyricist. The song has a laid-back feel to it which seems appropriate to the lyrics.

Great singer who sells the song brilliantly. Lovely playing all round. I really like the way the backing vocals have been used. Excellent sound quality. Nice lyrical idea.

Love the feel of this track. Well written and performed. Nice guitars.
