FULL MEASURE (John Sebastian/Steve Boone)
the full measure of your giving you don't yet understand it's a cupful of living that you hold in your hand
the full weight of your loving makes me lighter than air the tax on receiving I know that it never was there
it started off just sticking around to give that wonderful feeling from you now there's fin'ly someone telling me that I can really give too
I know that 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 to give that wonderful feeling from you now there's fin'ly someone telling me that I can really give too, to you, to you, to you
I've heard them saying at Christmas now I can say it too the feeling of giving t'is just as good as I'm getting from you I said t'is as good as I'm getting from you t'is as good as I'm getting from you
