Lyrics A Gift Today - Barbra Streisand

These gifts are just a token of bigger ones unspoken
From every loving relative and friend
Gifts we wish you very much
Things you cannot wear or touch
Or tell time with, or write with, or spend
If we could have the power to raise the one on high
Command for you a gift today
Wealth we wouldn't wish you or things that gold can buy
What money makes, money takes away
We command you something special
Grand and worthy of this day
The gift that I would grant you is may you never trade
For glory, or success, or fame
Your own good name
Yes, your own good name
We command you something special
Grand and worthy of this day
The gift that I would grant you is when you need a friend
You'll find one half as good and true
As you know, ooh
As we all know, ooh
We command you something special
Grand and worthy of this day
The gift that I would grant you is when you meet the one
The one you'll love your whole life through
She'll love you too
Like she's loved by you
If we could have the power to raise the one on high
Command for you a gift today
Wealth we wouldn't wish you or things that gold can buy
What money makes, money takes away
Happy birthday, 13th birthday
From the ones who love you so
Goodbye to childish things now, to boyish thoughts and ways
May love bless everyday you know
To a boy, "Farewell"
To a man, "Hello"
To a man, "Hello"
