He Gave Me

HE GAVE ME
Lyrics by Toni Burcher

Verse 1:
Growing up is never easy. Not everything turns out as planned.
When a new marriage does happen, don’t know exactly where you stand.
But all worry left when I saw his smile, his arms open wide.
He seemed like all that I had been missing inside.

Verse 2:
Teenage years are never easy. Not everything turns out as planned.
Young romance can soon bring heartbreak. When solo you do stand.
But he wrapped me up in his strong arms, his heart open wide.
He gave me all that I had been missing inside.

CHORUS 1:
He gave me everything to make my world a wonderland.
He gave me his support, gave me his gentle guiding hand.
He gave me so very much. He was a parent through and through.
But more than that, he gave me his love when he didn’t have to.

Verse 3:
Married life is never easy. Not everything turns out as planned.
Taking sides can soon bring heartbreak. So, solo do you stand.
But he saw my fear and wrapped me up, my eyes open wide.
He gave me all that I had been missing inside.

Verse 4:
Breaking up is never easy. Not everything turns out as planned.
When he’s preparing to be leaving, don’t know exactly where you stand.
And my heart did pound when I saw the bags, the door open wide.
Afraid I would lose what I had been feeling inside.

CHORUS 2:
He gave me everything to make my world a wonderland.
He gave me his support, gave me his gentle guiding hand.
He gave me so very much. He was a parent through and through.
But more than that, he gave me his love when he didn’t have to.

Verse 5:
No longer being family isn’t easy. Not everything turns out as planned.
When his new marriage does happen, don’t know exactly where you stand.
But all worry left when I saw his smile, his arms open wide.
He gave me all that I had been missing inside.

CHORUS 3:
He gives me everything to make my world a wonderland.
He gives me his support, gives me his gentle guiding hand.
He gives me so very much. He is my parent through and through.
But more than that, he gives me his love when he doesn’t have to.
But more than that, he gives me his love when he doesn’t have to.
But more than that, he gives me his love when he doesn’t have to.
