With every note I play, I play with love
With every word I say, it's coming from my heart
And so I sing a song of joy for you
With all the happiness this melody brings
With all the happiness this melody brings

It seems you always had a prayer for me
When no one cared for me, you were so kind to me
And so I sing a song of joy for you
With all the happiness this melody brings
With all the happiness this melody brings

With every note I play, I play with love
With every word I say, it's coming from my heart
And so I sing a song of joy for you
With all the happiness this melody brings
With all the happiness this melody brings
