You've Given That To Me

What’s the melody you’re singing, what’s the song that you play
What’s the magic that you’re bringing, why are you here anyway
There’s not much here for such a young one, for someone like you
I have a picture in my mind of my family around the fire
We were singing this very song

You’ve given that to me
Lit the fire in my memory
You’ve given that to me

What’s the story that you told me that brought a tear to my eye
Your passion reaches out to hold me, makes me glad to be alive
I’m young and still it’s strange to find that I’m needing you

You’ve given that to me
You see the good in me that I don’t see
You’ve given that to me

What’s the point of this life when all our days disappear
What is the legacy we’re leaving in the little time that we’re here
It’s a sea of joy we should be sailing, but it’s a failing wind
So I keep this picture in my mind, I take this moment for my heart
Dancing over these diamonds with you

You’ve given that to me
Star to guide me on a lonely sea
You’ve given that to me
