The Greatest Gift (with vocals) - Henry Mancini

Thanks to yonek & knowller

THE GREATEST GIFT
(Henry Mancini)

If you just could see yourself the way I do
You would see how wonderful you are
How can you know what love like yours can truly be
Because when I'm holding you
You're just holding me

When we part, the one you leave is me, not you
You don't know the loneliness I feel
The greatest gift that anyone could give to you
Would be for you, to see yourself the way I do

thank you thank you... its been more than 20 years that i have been looking for this... would u happen to have the instrumental song "just for her"... i think its by peter nero... please please... thank you. God Bless You...

[Jokarilon]

We'll do a research on that ...

Thanks for dropping by !

One of the most felicitous marriages of words and music ever. Notice that the shifts in ideas are accompanied by unexpected harmonic changes as well. At 1:07 the suspended E flat 7th to the A 13th then quickly to the D Major 9th for the title words is heartbreaking. Yet, despite its beauty and brilliance, the song has "flown under the radar" for decades . . . except among us devotees. Thanks, Jokarilon, for posting.

You're much welcome !

This is a beautiful melody with very beautiful lyrics, so sweet and tender. I like it very much.

[sonnycanlas]

@methu124 I totally agree with you. Been looking for this as well for a long time and am glad that there are other "devotees" as well.

@johnny062448 this is from one of the Pink Panther movies in the 70's

[johnny062448]

i have seen a movie in the 60s that first played this music. all the while i thought it was "two for the road". but when i saw "two for the road" again a month ago, this music wasn't there. could anyone please tell me what movie that was? thank you.

[Alberra1]

[apriline88]

[suitman36]

they simply don't make music like this anymore......sad.

[Chilechilenita]

Love it!! Thank you for posting this song, it brings back lots of nice memories.

'I'm trying to put my finger on why this song is so profoundly moving. It seems many of the listeners who like us were deeply affected by it were either children or teenagers when they first heard it."

Yep. Heard it as a teenager in the background of the movie and never forgot it.
