The full measure of your giving
You don´t yet understand
A cupful of living
That you hold in your hand

The full weight of your loving
Makes me lighter than air
The tax I´m receiving
Now I know that it never was there

It started off just stickin´around
To get that wonderful feeling from you
Now there´s finally someone telling me
I can really give too

I know you know the feeling
That getting something for nothing is wrong
Getting love is so easy
Giving love takes so long

I´ve heard them say it at Christmas
Now I can say it to you
The feeling of giving
Is as good as I´m getting from you
It´s as good as I´m getting from you
