Lyrics

  1. Everyone has something to be thankful for
    Dearest, and I have you
    Everyone has one thing that they most adore
    The time is nearing, you’ll soon be hearing

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

  1. 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
