I sing this gift from me to you

You've shown your love through things you do

I've screamed in anger, denied affection

Your patience guides me and gives direction

No gift I give could match your devotion

Through days and nights, 'cross land and ocean


I will feel secure and I'll always adore my source of support

Awaken my senses so when I depart

She'll always be with me, close my heart...


From the days of my youth, the memories we share

I've worked through the trouble, grown strong through your care

You've nurtured my dreams, built up a home

When loneliness comes, I'm never alone

Now a new world calls me and I must go

Through the years I've learned, and I'll always know
