John Denver - The Gift You Are Lyrics






Imagine a month of Sundays, each one a cloudy day
Imagine the moment the sun came shining through
Imagine that ray of sunshine as you

Remember your darkest hour with dawn still far away
Remember the way that you longed for morning's light
And think of yourself as a candle in the night

Make believe this is the first day, everything all brand new
Make believe that the sun is your own lucky star
And then understand the kind of gift you are

The gift you are, like the very first breath of spring
The gift you are, all the joy that love can bring
The gift you are, all of our dreams come true. The gift you are, the gift of you

You are the promise of all the ages, you are the Prodigal Son
You are the vision of prophets and sages, you are the only one

Dream of a bright tomorrow, know that your dream will come true
Carry your dream in a sparkling crystal jar
Then you will know the kind of gift you are

The gift you are, like the very first breath of spring
The gift you are, all the joy that love can bring
The gift you are, all of our dreams come true. The gift you are, the gift of you

    Every child is a gift. Remember your childhood for that is your state of innocence. Pure and free from the influence of a killing system borne out of men's greed for power...

    Hello Angie Toh
    I would like to share that I consider Your video presentation of” The Gift You Are” by John Denver to be Unusually “Insightful.” I also have an Insight to share that is KEY to understanding this song. John wrote this song as a “tribute” to his new born son, BUT it applies to Everyone. The “Ray of Sunshine” that John refers to is the HIGHER SELF Spiritual Self. ONCE a person is “Connected” to their Own “Ray of Sunshine” such a Person becomes “A Candle in the Night”, for Themselves and Other People and New Day and a New Tomorrow Can begin.
    Take Care, Norman

    Imagine a Month of Sundays
    Each ONE a Cloudy Day
    IMAGINE the MOMENT the SUN Came SHINING Through
    IMAGINE that “RAY of Sunshine” as YOU
    Remember your Darkest Hour
    With DAWN still FAR Away
    REMEMBER the WAY that YOU LONGED for Morning's LIGHT
    And THINK of YOURSELF as a CANDLE in the Night
    Make believe THIS is the FIRST Day
    Everything All Brand NEW
    Make BELIEVE that the SUN is YOUR Own LUCKY STAR
    And THEN Understand the KIND of GIFT YOU Are

    YOU are the PROMISE of All the Ages
    YOU are the Vision of Prophets and Sages
    Dream of a BRIGHT Tomorrow
    KNOW that YOUR Dream WILL Come TRUE
    Carry your DREAM in a Sparkling Crystal jar
    THEN YOU will KNOW the kind of GIFT You ARE

    from my heart, to my son.... and #dicamitutto.... "like the very first breath of spring"

  16. A.... F....

    Oh my what a beautiful song. Now one of my favorites.

  17. G.... M....

    Songs I have been hearing that I never knew existed! I especially love this one

  18. L.... C....

    I think of my grand children when I hear this. 👼👼💕

  19. h.... w....

    i was born in the year he passed away,
    now i really love him. i collect all the song of him

  20. L.... C....

    The depths of a woman's heart, no one really news.

  21. B.... D....

    Most music nowadays is nothing like this. Sad.

  22. D.... K....

    I love this song. ♥ I saw John perform this and speak of his children and how he wrote this song for them. A very loving song from a proud father.

  23. P.... D....

    One of the most beautiful songs ever written and only John Denver can sing it.

  24. D.... N....

    I never heard this beauty either ... his is the voice of a generation past and for all to come ... his depth, his spiritual nature ... so much we had in him and we lost after he left us ... so early. But he was doing what he loved best ... soaring with the eagle and the hawk over Calypso's domain ... ;-(

  25. L.... C....

    Take your gray bricks and shove it.

  26. L.... C....

    And some of his own money for things you dont supply. You dont t have to, but, I would.

  27. L.... C....

    Best give my son a whole piece of cake. 👍🏻

  28. L.... C....

    Sometimes it's in loss we learn the value of what Gods lessons are. Pity.

  29. L.... C....

    So much more than just a penny. Aren't they now.

  30. L.... C....

    It's nice to think of how John Denver could write a universal song for us all in the importance of our children. Wow. Did God have a plan?

  31. L.... C....

    So fitting for a parents love for there child. There never will be a love like that again. Sorry men and ladies. 👍🏻

  32. L.... C....

    To all the grandchildren of mine, who live a life of hell...

    L.... C....

    That too will pass. I know I've been there.

  33. M.... X....

    You are a gift if the heart.

  34. S.... G....
