Lyrics
MY BEST GIFT LIVES IN TEXAS
words and music by Ray Dahrouge
(verse)
I remember Christmas', no one to share them with,
And how I tried to fill my life with things.
But things just wouldn't do, back then I never knew,
The joy a precious Texas girl could bring.
Followed my own lone star, just like the wise men did,
It led me to where you live, now I know life's greatest gift,
Is who you are.
(chorus)
My best gift lives in Texas.
You're the love of my life, you are my world.
My best gift lives in Texas.
And it comes all wrapped up in you, girl.
(verse)
We were Texas born and raised, we exchanged each holiday,
The richest gift you can only get for free.
You can't put a price on it, you can bet your life on it,
It's not the kind you find beneath the tree.
Followed my own lone star, just like the wise men did,
It led me to where you live, now I know life's greatest gift,
Is who you are.
(chorus)
My best gift lives in Texas.
You're the love of my life, you are my world.
My best gift lives in Texas.
And it comes all wrapped up in you, girl.
(repeat chorus and fade out)
