You can take a grain of sand, turn it into a pearl.
I was there by your mother’s side welcome you to this world.
Waiting for you to take your first breath, I swear that time stood still.

(Chorus)
You have given me the best gift, the best of my life.

I balanced you on my lap, you climbed up my chest.
Your mother held you in her arms as you fed upon her breast.
Life means so much more to me now, I really must confess.

(Chorus)
You have given me the best gift, the best gift of my life.

We’d take turns reading bedtime stories, then kiss you goodnight.
Tucked you into your warm soft bed turning out the light.
Soon you’d fall fast asleep, off to dreamland you’d fly.

(Chorus)
You have given me the best gift, the best gift of my life.

I’d spin you around in the kitchen, as we dance to country song.
Taught you how to ride your first bike and watch you pedal along.
Now you’re grown up so fast, I have to catch my breath.

(Chorus)
You have given me the best gift, the best gift of my life.

I hope someday when you’re older , your dreams are not too far.
You never lose sight or take it for granted no matter where you are.
Oh, did I forget to say, that I love you with all of my heart.

(Chorus)
You have given me the best gift, the best gift of my life. The best gift of my life
