What a gift, what a gift you can give me

Here with my heart so whole,

while others may be grieving

Think of their grieving

And oh my boy

Don't you know you are dear to me

You are a breath of life

and a light upon the water

A light upon the water

And, oh my love

If you only knew how I long for you

How I waste my days wishing you would come around

Just to have you around

And what a dear

What a sweet little baby

This cannonball in the bosom of your belly

It's just a kick in your belly

And oh my god,

What a world you have made here

What a terrible world, what a beautiful world

What a world you have made here
