There was a time, not so long ago
When I couldn't find what was missin' in me
Through you, I gave myself the right to be
Free of this hate that was taught to me
Oh, I gave myself the gift of loving me
Oh now, I wonder just how great our world could be
If we could give a little gift like this
To ourselves under the Christmas tree
Now that I know, in my heart of hearts
Love is the answer, I'll never feel alone
When the time is right, my true love will arrive
And I'll be ready and waiting, loving myself all the while
Oh, I gave myself the gift of loving me
Oh now, I wonder just how great our world could be
If we could give a little gift like this
To ourselves under the Christmas tree
On this holy night, with stars brightly shining
It is the night of your dear rebirth
Mmm
Oh, I gave myself the gift of loving me
Oh now, I wonder just how great our world could be
If we could give a little gift like this
To ourselves under the Christmas tree
