You saved my heart from being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful everyday
For the gift.

And now I know, there is nothing that I could not do
Thanks to you

Letting me know what's real
From what is not
What I've got is more that I'd ever hoped for
And a lot of what I hope for is
Thanks to you
No mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will pull me through
Thanks to you

And the worries ahead, no charge
For the advice and the knowledge
And the costs of your college, no charge
For the toys, school, and clothes
And for wiping your nose
There's no charge son
When you add it all the full cost of my love is no charge
*And they smiled to each other.
