Sending you a little heart
Sending you a flower

You’ve been in my life
Bringing so many touching moments

You are my angel
Guiding me all the way through

No matter how time may change
My love for you I’ll sing as a song

Listen to me – thank you
Because of you
You’ve warmed up every season

Thank you, thank you for being here

Thank you, thank you for being here
The world is more beautiful
