for the years you've given me
For each beat of my heart,
for every breath I breathe
for the best times of my life
Through the good, through the bad
You were always by my side
I never thought I'd meet someone
And I appreciate the way you love
I can't hold back all those tears
Although a man ain't supposed to cry, baby
In my whole life, my tears,
You've given so much to my life
for the joy you bring to life
When all was lost and gone,
you brought hope back inside
When I found no one understood,
you would always understand
I used to think that I knew love,
and what true love would mean
Cause you told me everything
I can't hold back these tears
All love is not supposed to cry
If I hold back my tears I'll just die
You've given so much to my life
Oh, God so loved the world
That he blessed us all with you
And now I'm giving it to you, baby
And these tears I cry are tears of joy
My happiness I do rejoice
In the love you give unselfishly
All the pains I'm supposed to cry
I can't hold back these tears
Oh, you've given so much,
Oh, don't let me, don't, don't, don't
I can't hold back these tears,
