The Gifts We Gave Lyrics

I sold my treasure the thing I held dear

To give you a gift that would bring you cheer

Not knowing you'd do the same for me

Love's a circle wild and free

We traded away what we thought we'd need

But love's not measured by gold or greed

Though we lost what we held close

What we gained matters most

It's the gift we gave not what we had

A bittersweet joy a love ironclad

Even when things slip away

What we gave will always stay

Your hair so long your pride and crown

Now gone for a watch chain gleaming brown

And I with a heart so full and proud

Sold my watch to make you wowed

It's not the gift it's what it means

A love that shines through simple scenes

Though time slips by and things will fade

Love remembers the price we paid

It's the gift we gave not what we had

A bittersweet joy a love ironclad

Even when things slip away

What we gave will always stay

No gold or silver in the end

Just the love we choose to send

What's lost can always be replaced

But not the moments that we embraced

It's the gift we gave not what we had

A bittersweet joy a love ironclad

Even when things slip away

What we gave will always stay

Love's the treasure love's the prize

Seen through each other's grateful eyes

Though gifts may fade love will stay

That's the gift of the Magi today
