[male vocals] THE
GIFT
OF
YOU
[INTRO – SOFT HIGHlife GUITAR + FEMALE HUMS] Today
the
world
is
celebrating
The
day
that
heaven
gave
me
you...
And
if
I
had
a
thousand
lifetimes,
I'd
still
choose
you.
[VERSE 1] Before
I
knew
your
name,
God
knew
I'd
need
your
heart
He
wrote
your
story
long
before
Our
two
worlds
ever
crossed
And
now
I
look
at
you
And
see
a
gift
I
can't
explain
A
woman
wrapped
in
grace
and
love
Who
makes
my
life
more
beautiful
every
day
You've
been
my
joy
in
laughter
My
comfort
through
the
tears
You've
held
my
hand
through
every
storm
And
loved
me
through
the
years
And
if
there's
one
thing
I
know
As
I
look
into
your
eyes
I'm
grateful
that
I
get
to
love
you
For
the
rest
of
my
life
[PRE-CHORUS – BUILD WITH HARMONIES] So
today
I
celebrate
your
life
I
celebrate
your
heart
I
celebrate
the
woman
that
you
are
And
every
prayer
I
whisper
Has
one
simple
line—
Lord,
keep
my
beautiful
wife
For
many,
many
years
of
life
[CHORUS – MAIN MELODIC HOOK] Happy
birthday,
my
love
My
beautiful
wife
You
are
one
of
the
greatest
gifts
God
has
given
me
in
life
May
your
days
be
filled
with
laughter
May
your
heart
forever
shine
And
may
I
have
the
privilege
Of
loving
you
for
all
my
life
Happy
birthday,
my
love
My
treasure,
my
queen
If
I
could
choose
again
I'd
choose
you
endlessly
Through
every
season,
every
year
Through
every
changing
tide
I'd
still
reach
for
your
hand
And
call
you
my
wife
[INSTRUMENTAL HIGHlife BREAK] Oh-oh-oh...
My
love...
My
beautiful
wife...
[VERSE 2] There
are
things
I
cannot
put
Into
the
language
of
my
heart
How
you
make
ordinary
moments
Feel
like
works
of
art
Your
smile
can
change
a
room
Your
presence
feels
like
home
And
somehow
even
in
a
crowd
You
make
me
feel
I'm
not
alone
You've
seen
the
imperfect
me
And
loved
me
anyway
You've
walked
beside
my
weakness
And
celebrated
my
strength
And
when
I
count
my
blessings
I
don't
have
to
count
too
far
Because
the
greatest
one
I'm
holding
Is
the
woman
that
you
are
[PRE-CHORUS] So
today
I
celebrate
your
dreams
The
woman
you're
becoming
Every
hidden
prayer
inside
your
heart
That
God
is
still
answering
May
He
surround
you
with
His
favor
May
His
goodness
lead
your
way
And
may
this
new
chapter
of
your
life
Be
more
beautiful
than
yesterday
[CHORUS – FULLER HARMONIES] Happy
birthday,
my
love
My
beautiful
wife
You
are
one
of
the
greatest
gifts
God
has
given
me
in
life
May
your
days
be
filled
with
laughter
May
your
heart
forever
shine
And
may
I
have
the
privilege
Of
loving
you
for
all
my
life
Happy
birthday,
my
love
My
treasure,
my
queen
If
I
could
choose
again
I'd
choose
you
endlessly
Through
every
season,
every
year
Through
every
changing
tide
I'd
still
reach
for
your
hand
And
call
you
my
wife
[BRIDGE – DROP TO GUITAR + PERCUSSION] And
when
our
hair
turns
silver
And
our
younger
days
are
gone
When
we've
gathered
years
like
memories
And
the
road
has
carried
on
I
pray
I'll
still
be
looking
at
you
The
way
I'm
looking
now
With
gratitude
inside
my
heart
And
my
hand
still
holding
yours
Because
love
isn't
just
the
butterflies
Or
the
beautiful
beginning
It's
choosing
you
in
every
season
It's
staying
when
life
isn't
easy
It's
growing
old
and
still
discovering
New
reasons
to
say—
I
love
you...
I'm
grateful
for
you...
I'd
choose
you
again...
[FINAL CHORUS – JOYFUL HIGHlife] Happy
birthday,
my
love
My
beautiful
wife
Today
I
celebrate
the
woman
Who
makes
my
world
come
alive
May
heaven
pour
its
blessings
Like
rain
upon
your
life
And
may
every
dream
within
your
heart
Rise
and
come
to
life
Happy
birthday,
my
love
My
treasure,
my
queen
You
are
more
than
I
ever
dreamed
You'd
someday
mean
to
me
And
if
God
gives
me
all
my
years
And
lets
me
choose
one
more
time
I'd
find
you,
I'd
choose
you
And
I'd
love
you...
For
all
my
life.
[OUTRO – SOFT, INTIMATE] So
here's
to
you,
my
darling...
Here's
to
another
beautiful
year.
Here's
to
every
dream
ahead
of
you,
And
every
memory
we'll
make
together.
Happy
birthday,
my
love.
I
thank
God
for
your
life.
I
thank
God
for
your
love.
And
I
thank
God...
That
I
get
to
call
you
my
wife.
Happy
Birthday,
Victoria
Peterson.
My
love.
My
treasure.
My
forever.
