The Heart That Keeps On Giving

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Soft the morning light comes creeping, Gentle as a promise kept, Through the years of tears and laughter, Through the quiet where we slept. There's a heart that keeps on giving, Never asking for its due, A steady flame that warms this family, Every day, you carry us through. [Chorus] Oh, how we cherish you, Every gift, every word, every prayer, Sheree, our sweetest song, There's no love that could compare. Rest now, it's our turn for giving, Let us hold you as you've held us before, After all this time, We still want fifty more years. [Verse 2] Two grown children stand beside you, Six grandkids who know your name, Three great grandkids gently coming, Each one lit by the same warm flame. You feed every neighbor's table, Serve the ones the world forgets, Open hands and tireless kindness, A quiet strength that never rests. [Chorus] Oh, how we cherish you, Every gift, every word, every prayer, Sheree, our sweetest song, There's no love that could compare. Rest now, it's our turn for giving, Let us hold you as you've held us before, After all this time, We still want fifty more years. [Bridge] Fifty years of loving you, And still my heart is not through, Wrapped in memories, soft and gold, More stories waiting to be told. [Verse 3] So on this birthday, breathe it slowly, Feel the love come rolling in, For every gift you've given freely, Now let our giving begin. Sheree, you are our comfort, Our light, our home, our shore, Happy birthday, dearest darling, We will love you evermore. [Outro] Sleep now, gently, peace be near, You are treasured, you are dear. Happy birthday, dearest darling, We will love you evermore.
