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:]
