ALL THEY HAD TO GIVE (Traditional) trax available
(Written By: Dellaposta/Hobbs)
ALL THEY HAD TO GIVE
VERSE
A GOLDEN POCKET WATCH HIS DADDY LEFT HIM WAS HIS ONLY PRIZED POSSESSION
CHRISTMAS TIME WAS COMING AND THE MONEY WAS SCARCE
THAT PAWN SHOP ON THE CORNER HAD A SPECIAL PRESENT FOR HER IN THE WINDOW
SO HE TRADED IN HIS GOLDEN WATCH FOR SILVER COMBS FOR HER CHESNUTT HAIR
CHORUS
IT WAS ALL HE HAD TO GIVE
TO SHOW HOW MUCH HE LOVED HER
IT WAS MORE THAN JUST A GIFT
IT WAS ALL HE HAD TO GIVE
VERSE
HER LONG AND SILKY CHESNUTT HAIR JUST LIKE HER MAMA’S WAS HER SHINING GLORY
SHE DIDN’T SHED A TEAR WHEN SHE LOOKED IN THE MIRROR AND CUT IT OFF
SHE KNEW WHERE SHE COULD SELL IT SO SHE COULD BUY HIM A SPECIAL PRESENT
SO SHE SOLD HER CHESNUTT HAIR FOR A GOLDEN CHAIN FOR HIS POCKET WATCH
CHORUS
IT WAS ALL SHE HAD TO GIVE
TO SHOW HOW MUCH SHE LOVED HIM
IT WAS MORE THAN JUST A GIFT
IT WAS ALL SHE HAD TO GIVE
BRIDGE
HE COULDN’T WAIT TO SEE THE SILVER COMBS IN HER HAIR
AND SHE COULDN’T WAIT TO ASK HIM FOR THE TIME
CHORUS
IT WAS ALL THEY HAD TO GIVE
TO SHOW HOW MUCH THEY LOVED EACH OTHER
SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A GIFT
WHAT THEY GAVE TO ONE ANOTHER
A SACRIFICE OF LOVE
GREATER THAN THE GOLD OR SILVER
IT WAS MORE THAN JUST A GIFT
IT WAS ALL THEY HAD TO GIVE
SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A GIFT
IT WAS ALL THEY HAD TO GIVE
