Meh. I'm actually getting married later this year and I'm still just like "Oh, this is kinda nice." lol...

These lyrics contribute very little to the world of marriage songs. "Dearest" felt more honest, "Virgin Road" had a more interesting approach by singing a "thank you for raising me, but it's time to pass the torch" song to one's mother/parents rather than an "I love you" song to the person one is marrying.

There's nothing wrong with "The GIFT" at all - it IS very sweet and quite lovely, but I still think the tension created by the piano intro & outro are probably the best & most interesting aspects of this particular song.
