"12/17/12" lyrics - THE DECEMBERISTS

What a gift, what a gift has been given me
Here with my heart so whole, while others may be grieving
To think of their grieving!

And oh my boy, don't you know you are dear to me
You are a breath of life and a light upon the water
A light upon the water

And oh my love, if you only knew how I long for you
How I waste my days wishing you would come around
Just to have you around

What a dear, what a sweet little baby
This cannonball in the bosom of your belly
It's just a kick in your belly

And oh my God, what a world you have made here
What a terrible world, what a beautiful world
What a world you have made here
What a world you have made here
What a world you have made here
