Lyrics
She asked me what I'd like
to find beneath the tree.
When Christmas morning comes
it'll be just her and me
Her eyes were twinkling bright
and she flashed that cheeky smile
Like she had kept a secret for a while
I took her by the hand and said
my little honeybee
I have all that I'll ever need
and want right here with me
She said But Mum you know
I got you something anyway
but you will have to wait
for Christmas Day
The greatest gift I ever knew
is what you left behind
The greatest gift I ever knew
She'll be forever mine.
I know you watch her from above
Our baby girl so fine
She's the greatest gift
I ever knew.
On Christmas Day she woke me up
so excited about her gift.
She held her hand in front of me
Clenched tightly in a fist.
Grinning wide she opened it
revealing only air
Here's all my love for you she said
to carry everywhere
I can hear your angel voice
Remind me sometimes
we don't have the choice
Though fate took you
away too soon
our love remains
She heals the wound
The greatest gift I ever knew
is what you left behind
The greatest gift I ever knew
She'll be forever mine
I know you watch her from above
Our baby girl so fine
I'm so grateful for
this part of you
She’s the greatest gift
I ever knew
