There is a list of names
|
All written in a book
|
I know that every year I take a look
|
These names are a part
|
Not of the book they're written in
|
But in my very heart
|
|
|
My life is so much better
|
Than it was before you came
|
Once you've known someone the years cannot erase
|
The memory of a pleasant word
|
Or of a friendly face
|
When I send out my love
|
That's addressed to you
|
Cause you're on the list of names
|
I am indebted to
|
When I send out my love
|
That's addressed to you
|
Cause I have a list of names
|
And I included you
|
|
|
It's only the thought that counts
|
(The thought that counts)
|
Every year I realize
|
The biggest gift that God can give
|
Is knowing people just like you
|
|
|
I feel composed of each remembered name
|
You may not be aware
|
Of feeling quite the same
|
Whether I've known you many years or few
|
You will always have a part
|
In shaping the things I do
|
|
|
It's only the thought that counts
|
(The thought that counts)
|
It's all for you
|
