Lyrics

Hoo.

Win ter snow is (F)fall ing down, chil dren laugh ing (Bb)all a round, lights are turn ing on,

like a (Cm7)fair y tale come true.

Sit ting by the fire

we made, you’re the an swer (Bb)when I prayed

I would find some (Bb)one;

and, (Cm7)ba by, I found you.

All I want is to hold you for (Fsus)ev er.

All I need is you more ev ’ry day.

(Bb)You saved my heart

from be ing (Gm)bro ken (Gm)a part.

You gave your (Cm7)love a way

and I’m thank ful (F7sus)ev ’ry day

for the (Bb)gift.

Watch ing as you (C)soft ly sleep, what I’d give if (F)I could keep

just this mo ment,

if (Gm)on ly time stood (C)still.

But the col ors fade

a way and the years will (F)make us gray, but, ba by, in my (F)eyes,

you’ll (Gm)still be beau ti ful.

All I want is to hold you for (Csus)ev er.

All I need is you more ev ’ry (Csus)day.

(F)You saved my heart

from be ing (Dm)bro ken (Dm)a part.

You gave your (Gm7)love a way

and I’m thank ful (C7sus)ev ’ry day

for the (F)gift.

All I want (Dm)bro ken (Dm)a part.

You gave your (Gm7)love a way.

I can’t find the (Bb)words to say that I’m (Dm)thank ful (Gm7)ev ’ry day

for the (F)gift.

(C6)Ooh,

ah.

Ah,

ooh,

ooh.

Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "The Gift" by Jim Brickman. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "The Gift" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in Bb, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "The Gift" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
