The Best Gift
The Unwrapping of Love: Barbra Streisand's Magical Gift of Life
Lyrics
The best gift
The most valuable present
That I ever got
That I ever received
Didn't really weigh a lot
Wasn't necessarily heavy
It didn't have a ribbon 'round
Didn't come wrapped
And it sometimes made the terrible sound
Could sometimes produce a distressing sound
The best of all it seems to me
Above all others
It wasn't neath the christmas tree
Wasn't placed under a Christmas tree
And yet, I guess I'd have to say
However, it significantly enhanced the joy of other gifts
That it made all the other presents twice as gay
The best present I've experienced
The best gift that I've ever known
Was something I always desired to possess
I'd always wanted most to own
Yet, in my fantasies of perfection
Yet in my dreams of sugar and spice
I never imagined it could be this wonderful
I never thought it could be so nice
The most valuable gift I've received
The best gift that I ever get
Could be both dry and wet
Was sometimes dry and sometimes wet
Often pink or red
Was usually pink but oftentimes red
Lay innocently in its place
As it lay so innocently in it's bed
The most cherished gift of the year
The best gift of the year to me
That held the utmost importance for me
The one I hold most dear to me
A gift that excited me greatly
A gift that simply drove me wild
Was a tiny newborn child
Was a tiny new born child...
