Lyrics
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 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 (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 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 beg you to share my day (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!
