With a thankful heart,
With an endless joy,
With a growing family
Every girl and boy
Will be nephew and niece to me,
Will bring love, hope,
and peace to me,
Yes, and every night will end,
And every day will start
With a grateful prayer
And a thankful heart.
With an open smile,
And with open doors,
I will bid you welcome
What is mine is yours,
With a glass raised
to toast your health,
And a promise to share the wealth,
I will sail a friendly course,
File a friendly chart,
On a sea of love
And a thankful heart.
Life is like a journey,
Who knows when it ends?
Yes, and if you need to know
The measure of a man,
You simply count his friends.
Stop and look around you,
The glory that you see
Is born again each day,
Don't let it slip away,
How precious life can be.
With a thankful heart
That is wide awake,
I do make this promise
Every breath I take
Will be used now
to sing your praise,
And beg you to share my days,
With a loving guarantee
That even if we part,
I will hold you close
In a thankful heart.
I will hold you close
In a thankful heart.
