Lirieke: Muppets. Thankful Heart.

Paul Williams
With a thankful
With a endless joy
With a growing family
Every girl and boy
Will be nephew and niece to me
(Nephew and niece to me)
Will bring love, hope and peace to me
(Love hope and peace to me)
Yes, and every night will end
And every day will start
With a grateful prayer
And a thankful heart
With an open smile and with open doors
I will bid you welcome
What is mine is yours
With a glass raised to toast your health
(With a glass raised to toast your health)
And a promise to share the wealth
(Promise to share the wealth)
I will sail a friendly course
File a friendly chart
On a sea of love and a thankful heart
Life is like a journey

Who knows when it ends?
Yes, and if you need to know
The measure of a man
You simply count his friends
Stop and look around you
The glory that you see
Is born again each day
Don't let it slip away
How precious life can be
With a thankful heart that is wide awake
I do make this promise
With every breath I take
Will be used now to sing your praise
(Used now to sing your praise)
And beg you to share my days
With a loving guarantee
That even if we part
I will hold you close in a thankful heart
I will hold you close in a thankful heart
In a thankful heart
