Full Measure

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

With 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 off just stickin' around

With that wonderful feeling from you.

Now there's finally someone telling me

I can really give, too.

I've heard them saying at Christmas,

Now I can say it to you:

The feeling of giving

It's as good as im getting from you,

It's as good as im getting from you,

It's as good as im getting from you,

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