Lyrics
- Sweetheart, I love but you
I know you love me too
And we could not hope to ask for more
We should bless this world of ours
With its sunshine and its show’rs
We have much to be thankful for
Chorus
We have eyes to behold one another
We have voices to say, “I love you”
We have ears to hear love’s tender story
We have hearts that are fond and true
We have arms to embrace one another
We have lips just to kiss o’er and o’er
With such wonderful treasures from heaven
We have much to be thankful for
- When things go wrong, my dear
When sunbeams disappear
And the world looks dark from shore to shore
Don’t give ‘way to feeling blue
You have me and I have you
And there’s much to be thankful for
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
