2000

Written by Andrew Hale, Paul Spencer Denman, Sade Adu, Stuart Matthewman

Produced by Mike Pela, Sade

Lyrics

The Sweetest Gift

[Verse 1] Quietly while you were asleep The moon and I were talking I asked that she'd always keep you protected She promised you her light That you so gracefully carry You bring your light and shine like morning [Verse 2] And then the wind pulls the clouds across the moon Your light fills the darkest room And I can see the miracle That keeps us from falling [Verse 3] She promised all the sweetest gifts That only the heaven's could bestow You bring your light and shine like morning [Verse 4] And as you so gracefully give Her light as long as you live I'll always remember this moment
