Make Me a Present of You
Gift of Love: Nancy Wilson's Plea for True Happiness
Lyrics
I don't want a mountain of diamonds
I don't desire a wealth of diamonds.
And a valley of gold wouldn't do
Even a vast amount of gold is insufficient.
If you want to make me happy
If you wish to bring me joy,
Make me a present of you
Gift me with the essence of who you are.
I don't need a desert of rubies
I don't require a landscape of rubies.
Or an ocean of pearls to swim through
Neither do I need an extensive collection of pearls to navigate.
Ah, but if you wanna make me happy
However, to genuinely please me,
Make me a present of you
Be the gift presented to me.
What good is a girl with a million?
Material possessions and titles hold little value.
What good if the world calls you Queen?
Even being hailed as a queen by the world is meaningless.
If there is no one to love you
Without someone to love you,
You really don't have anything
You lack true fulfillment.
So I'll take your arms for my palace
I choose your arms as my palace,
And the sky for my room with a view
And the sky as my room with a panoramic view.
And I know, I know that I'll make you happy
I am confident that by doing so,
Oh, oh, what I wouldn't do, if only
I will make you happy, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for that.
You would just make me
If only you would agree to
You would just make me
Be the gift, and make me happy by being you.
Make me a present of you
Make yourself a present to me.
