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'd meet someone

Who loves unselfishly

But i appreciate the way you loved and sacrificed for me



I can't hold back these tears

Let me cry (although a man's not supposed 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

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
