The Gift - Jim Brickman

For Jim and Ada...

winter snow is falling down
children laughing all around
lights are turning on
like a fairy tale come true

sitting by the fire we made
you're the answer when i prayed
i would find someone
and baby i found you

all i want is to hold you forever
all i need is you more every day
you saved my heart
from being broken apart
you gave your love away
and i'm thankful every day
for the gift

watching as you softly sleep
what i'd give if i could keep
just this moment
if only time stood still

but the colors fade away
and the years will make us grey
but baby in my eyes
you'll still be beautiful

all i want is to hold you forever
all i need is you more every day
you saved my heart
from being broken apart
you gave your love away
and i'm thankful every day
for the gift

all i want is to hold you forever
all i need is you more every day
you saved my heart
from being broken apart
you gave your love away
i can't find the words to say
that i'm thankful every day
for the gift

did you ever write out the score for this? i'd love to learn it for open mic nights. i do not believe you only play by ear. you obviously have some background in classical music. if you could email me a copy of the notation i'd be very grateful and credit you if ever i performed this piece.

@strungupbad

:) thanks Peter, but i'm sorry i really can't read tabs. but thanks for the compliment. i actually pick with just my thumb and forefinger, although i wish i know how to use all my fingers to pluck, and read music at the same time. i do know how to play chords, but not tabs. there's another YouTube player (taongsayote), he plays the same song and i believe he has tabs for it. if you ask him i'm sure he'll give you a copy of it....

[dontcha2]

[eighttabs]

sa lahat po ng ngttnong ng tabs, want me to upload it, I practiced his songs by listening and watching his fingers (thank you very much oniepot) and that's how I managed to create his tabs. :D
