I've been thinking of you lately
As I often tend to do
It's the season for remembering
And I'm thinking now of you
Thanks for being kind and thoughtful
Through the year and all the way
I'm counting gifts that mean the most
I'm counting you today
The holidays are meant to share
But you share each day with me
The fact that you are always there
Is such a sweet reality
The gifts we give each other
Are more than things left on a shelf
It's sunny days, and caring ways
When we need a little help
I treasure every moment
And hope we'll never part
So I'm sending on this magic wish
Merry Christmas from my heart!
