Lyrics
"Best Gift of All"
Walking by the red kettle, no one was ringing the bell
At night I relived all the old feelings I knew so well
Of a Christmas morning surrounded by those I love
The fires glow and presents strung all across the floor
A time when my love and giving meant so much more
(Chorus)
Living my life today with only the memories of my past
Remembering all the love, wishing it would come back?
The glow of candle light and the tree on Christmas Eve
Little arms wrapped around my neck on Christmas Day
Knowing I was part of something bigger than myself
One magical moment shinning bright in a child's eyes
I love you whispered softly, doing my best not to cry
In all those memories of Christmas past
I can see I was given the best gift of all
Today standing by that same red kettle I once passed by
I ring the bell gathering more than the just coins inside
Smiles from children; families their hearts full of love
A spirit of giving that sometimes opens a new door
Helping to find the magic letting us be so much more
(Chorus)
Living my life today with only the memories of my past
Remembering all the love, wishing it would come back?
The glow of candle light and the tree on Christmas Eve
Little arms wrapped around my neck on Christmas Day
Knowing I was part of something bigger than myself
One magical moment shinning bright in a child's eyes
I love you whispered softly, doing my best not to cry
In all those memories of Christmas past
I can see I was given the best gift of all
Fires glow, presents strung across the floor
The spirit of giving that opens new doors
Finding the magic that helps us do more
(Chorus)
Living my life today with only the memories of my past
Remembering all the love, wishing it would come back?
The glow of candle light and the tree on Christmas Eve
Little arms wrapped around my neck on Christmas Day
Knowing I was part of something bigger than myself
One magical moment shinning bright in a child's eyes
I love you whispered softly, doing my best not to cry
In all those memories of Christmas past
I can see I was given the best gift of all
In all my memories of Christmas past
I was the one with the best gift of all
