When you get a present,
It was chosen with thought.
The love that comes with it -
That can't be bought.
Look in the eye of the giver:
You'll see what's in their mind,
It's the thought that counts
Every time.
It may be a big gift,
Or it may be small.
It may be expensive,
Or cost nothing at all.
Look in the eye of the giver:
You'll see what's in their mind.
It's the thought that counts
Every time.
How could I forget
A present for mum and dad?
Have I left it far too late?
I don't want to make them sad...
When you give a present,
Is it chosen with thought?
The love you give with it -
That can't be bought.
Look in the eye when you give it,
And show what's in your mind,
'Cos it's the thought that counts,
Yes it's the thought that counts,
It's the thought that counts
Every time, every time.
