A gift of song is a gift of love
Though how this is I cannot say
But who receives a gift of love
Must send it freely on its way

As I receive, so let me give
And live with joy my whole life through
A gift of song is a gift of love
And now I've sung my song for you

A gift of song is a gift of love
It falls to earth, we know not where
And who receives a gift of love
It follows then that he must share

(As I receive) as I receive (so let me give) so let me give
(And live with joy) and live with joy (my whole life through) my whole life through
(A gift of song) a gift of song (is a gift of love) is a gift of love
And now I've sung my song for you
