Lyrics
The dressing room was open
And the backstage hall was empty
His back was turned towards me
And I had to find my nerve
I caught him, for a moment
His eyes were kind, and gentle
And before he walked away
He told me, I'm just here to serve
He said, I had it all
And I lost it one day
Was a long hard fall
But somewhere along the way
I was given a gift, and what I know today
Is the only way to keep it
Is to give it away
The waiting room, was crowded
And I didn't know a soul there
I wanted to run
But there was nowhere left to go
She said, I have heard your story
And her eyes were kind, and gentle
She sat down, beside me
And said, here is what I know
You see, I had it all
And I lost it one day
Was a long hard fall
But somewhere along the way
I was given a gift, about what I know today
'Cause the only way to keep it
Is to give it away
The living room, fell silent
I was hurt, and you were angry
I wanted to leave, but before I walked away
I looked you, in the eye
And still found something, kind and gentle
And before I let it go
I just had one thing, left to say
You know, we have it all
We forgot that, today
It's a long hard fall
But somewhere, along the way
We've been given a gift
And a chance, to know the way
That the only way, to keep it
Is to give it away
Yes, I've been given a gift
I'm passing on, in some small way
It's the only way I keep it
Is to give it away
