Thankful Heart

With a thankful heart With an endless joy With a growing family Every girl and boy Will be nephew and niece to me Nephew and niece to me Will bring love, hope and peace to me Love, hope and peace to me Yes and every night will end And every day will start With a greatful 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 With a glass raised to toast your health And a promise to share the wealth 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 need to 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 Used now to sing your praise And to beg you to share my days 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 In a thankful heart
