 What I'm thinkin' is so delicate
If I breathe, you know, I'm gonna lose it
It's just a drop in the biggest ocean I know I'll ever see
And in a moment it's big enough to drown the whole world

This is my present to the world / and I want you to take it
This is my present to the world / Take it from me, please please take it from me

All I know is I don't know it / It's rainin' babies from the sky down on me
Tiny drops on my windshield / And in a second it's rainin'- rainin' on the whole world

This is my present to the world / and I want you to take it
This is my present to the world / Take it from me, please please take it from me
