[Intro]
G Am7 D G Am D G Am D Am G Am D
[Verse]
G Am D Am G Am D Am
Imagine a month of Sundays, each one a cloudy day.
G Am D D9 D9
Imagine the moment the sun came shining through.
D9 D9 G Am G Am
Imagine that ray of sunshine as you
G Am D Am G Am D Am
Remember your darkest hour, with dawn still far away.
G Am D D9 D9
Remember the way that you longed for morning's light,
D9 D9 G Am G Am
And think of yourself as a candle in the night.
G Am D Am G Am D Am
Make believe this is the first day; everything all brand-new.
G Am D D9 D9
Make believe that the sun is your own lucky star,
D9 D9 G Am G Am
And then understand the kind of gift you are,
[Chorus]
C Am D G G
The gift you are, like the very first breath of spring.
C Am D G G
The gift you are, all the joy that love can bring.
C Am D Bm7 Em
The gift you are, all of our dreams come true.
C G Am D G Am G
The gift you are, the gift of you.
[Bridge]
Am D G
You are the promise of all the ages;
Am D G
You are the prodigal son.
Bm7 C Am
You are the vision of prophets and sages;
Am D G G
You are the only one.
[Verse]
G Am D Am G Am D Am G
Dream of a bright tomorrow, know that your dream will come true.
Am D D9 D9
Carry your dream in a sparkling crystal jar;
D9 D9 G C
Then you will know the kind of gift you are.
[Chorus]
C Am D G G
The gift you are, like the very first breath of spring.
C Am D G G
The gift you are, All the joy that love can bring.
C Am D Bm7 Em
The gift you are, all of our dreams come true.

The gift you are, The gift of you.
