VERSE 01: Ev’ryone has something to be thankful for,/Dearest and I have you/Ev’ryone has one thing that they most adore./The time is nearing/You’ll soon be hearing VERSE 02: There’s an old time saying, love will find a way,/Dearest and I found you/Now there’s no delaying let us name the day./My heart keeps sighing/There’s no denying CHORUS: Dearest I love you always think of you/First thing each morning and last thing at night/You’re in my sight guiding me right believe me Dearest I’m learning/Why I’ve been yearning/I’m only hoping that we’ll never part/Dearest you’re the nearest to my heart. | |
