The Gift By Jim Brickman Lyrics Novels & Stories

His gaze felt like an X‑ray, as if he wanted to look straight through me. I did not look away. I met his gaze with a numb calm. After a long silence, he smiled and pulled his hand back.

I don't need anything more." I smile but do not respond. A gift is more precious if it's a surprise.

Softly, I glide the pad of my thumb over the bird charm and clutch the bracelet tightly against my chest. There's a white slip of paper in the box with only one thing written on it. I almost have an emotional panic attack as I read the words over and over in my head. "You'll always be my little bird."-Brixton Even though I know I shouldn't, I clasp the bracelet around my wrist and wipe the tears from my eyes.

Hope you like it. And again, happy birthday, Sweetheart.” He kisses my temple. “I’ll leave you to it, then. You guys have fun. On the house tonight.” Before I could protest, he waves his hand bye and head back to his office. The sound of guitar playing fills the room. 'Let’s dance, little stranger, show me secret sins'
