She gave me a vase
So I’d pick her flowers;
She gave me time
So I’d count the hours

She gave me good intentions
So I’d change my ways;
She gave me an outlook
So to lengthen our days

She gave me listening
So I’d hear our song;
She made me promise her
So I’d do no wrong

She gave me her passion
So I could feel it flow;
She gave me a child
So I’d learn how to grow

She gave me more life
To teach how to learn;
She gave me her love
So to give in return
