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 sticking around
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

It started out just sticking around
With that wonderful feeling from you
Now there's finally someone telling me
I can really give too

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

It's as good as I'm getting from you
It's as good as I'm getting from you
It's as good as I'm getting from you
