They say you show love by giving
They mean you show love by giving – things
But, Rebecca, tonight, the sky is clear
The sun is out and the moon is here
My heart is full but my pockets are bare

The things I can buy, I cannot give
The things I can give, I cannot buy
Rebecca, the sky is bright with my feelings
Your family is waiting for my doings
But I have nothing to show them
For love has no kaftan to wear

So I give you this gift today
A gift I can give no one else
A gift your father will scoff at

They say you show love by giving
But tonight, the sky is clear
And my pockets are bare
So I pour out my heart content
And give you all I possess

It is all I have
It is not to be seen with the eyes
It is to be felt in the heart
It is not to be seen in the mart
It is a special art
It is the gift of love.
