A bolt of pure silk from a China moon loom
I know you'll be pleased, dear, but really
All the silk in the world on you, little girl
Would simply be gilt on the lily
Whoa, all of my gifts
Pale as I give them to you
Whoa, just give me time
Surely there's something will do
And I'm gonna bring it to you
An African diamond as blue as their skies
I know you'll be pleased, dear, but really
A Manhattan diamond as blue as your eyes
And it would be gilt on the lily
Whoa, all of my gifts
They pale as I give them to you
Whoa, just give me time
Surely there's something will do
And I'm gonna bring it to you
Whoa, all of my gifts
They pale as I bring them to you
Whoa, just give me time
Surely there's something will do
And I'm gonna bring it to you
I wish I could give you what's locked in my heart
I know that would please you, but really
I've mislaid the key a long time ago
And it would be gilt on the lily
Whoa, all of my gifts
They pale as I give them to you
Whoa, just give me time
Surely there's something will do
And I'm gonna give it to you
Whoa, all of my gifts
They pale as I give them to you
Whoa, just give me time
Surely there's something will do
And I'm gonna bring it to you
