Thank you, baby
|
For the years you've given me
|
For each beat of my heart
|
For every breath i breathe
|
Thank you, sweetie
|
For the best times of my life
|
Through the good, through the bad
|
You were always by my side
|
I never thought i meet someone
|
Who loves unselfishly
|
But i appreciate the way you loved
|
And sacrificed for me
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I can't hold back these tears
|
Let me cry
|
(although a man's not suppose to cry)
|
If i hold back my tears
|
I'll just die
|
(you've given so much to my life)
|
|
Thank you, lady
|
For the joy you bring to life
|
When i thought all was lost and gone
|
You brought hope back in sight
|
Thank you, honey
|
For being my best friend
|
When i thought no one understood
|
You would always understand
|
I used to think that i knew love
|
And what true love should mean
|
Now i know that i did not know much
|
'cause you taught me everything
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
God so loved the world
|
That he blessed us all with you
|
And then he gave me a heart
|
Now i'm giving it to you
|
And these tears i cry are tears of joy
|
My happiness, i do rejoice
|
In the love you give unselfishly
|
Your constant sacrifice for me
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
