The Loving Gift Lyrics - Johnny Cash

You gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold 

You gave me a song I learned to sing 

You showed me some beauty through the windows of your soul 

And you showed me a world I've never seen 

Each giving to the other love and givin' it away 

We spent the precious time we knew was borrowed 

'Cause you gave me the courage to live with yesterday 

And you gave me tomorrow 

You brought me a candle to light my way to bed 

You erased those shadows I'd been seeing 

You brought me a pillow to rest my weary head 

You taught me a gentle way of dreaming
