Sometimes I wake up in the dark of night
And in my mind there's a picture of you
I know someday this dream will come alive
So for now your shadow will do
I've never seen your face
But I know you're in my heart
Maybe someday, some place
I'll hold you in my arms
CHORUS:
I have a gift for you
Something I've held on to
Waiting for your sweet caress [sweet caress]
No ribbon has been untied
From all that I hold inside
And only you will possess
This heart of innocence
VERSE two:
I lay my head down on a pillow of white
Here in the dark, I am cradled in peace
No ghosts from yesterday to haunt me at night
No tears to dry, no sad memories
It isn't hard to hold
And I will safely keep
The strength that's in my soul
Until you come to me
CHORUS:
I have a gift for you
Something I've held on to
Waiting for your sweet caress
[sweet caress]
No ribbon has been untied
From all that I hold inside
And only you will possess
This heart of innocence
BRIDGE:
Every night I make a wish before I fall asleep
[I make a wish]
That destiny will take your hand
And lead you to me
CHORUS:
I have a gift for you
Something I've held on to
Waiting for your sweet caress
[sweet caress]
No ribbon has been untied
From all that I hold inside
And only you will possess
This heart of innocence
[spoken] I love you
