You lead at home as well as in the business,
and that leadership has always brightly shone,
so just know that I love you very much,
and our great times together are not done and gone.
One of four children in an Italian family,
Lenny (the little kid) soon grew up and roared,
he started the business we all work for,
(but it's only because of us that it's really soared).
She loved the Lord and shared that gift with us all,
she had a big heart and taught us all how to give,
she was always thinking of and doing for others,
in truth, I think she taught us all how to live.
Well, I think "you", are indeed, my real gift,
because I love you truly, with all my heart and soul,
for with you in my life, I feel complete,
you are the one that makes me completely whole.
I know they wheel out their tame doctors,
"drink two glasses of red wine every day".
Ever wondered who sponsors their research,
ever wondered how they get their pay?
Because we've shared so many great times,
precious memories, that I'll always treasure and keep,
like the time at The Ritz Cartton we ate in the room,
very romantic, (too much wine and we fell asleep).
Because you have persistently and consistently loved us,
and it seems like 'you' is always the last thing on your mind,
you have this wonderful gift of being able to inspire,
and we know that's a treasure and so very hard to find.
And you're such a perfect gent, a true romantic,
your little presents always give me a such lift,
and you've told me that even when we're married,
you said that you'll still make a point of giving me a gift.
In truth, he's been very successful in the plumbing business,
kitchens and baths and as mentioned before, the odd john,
but he says it how it is, his pipes are pretty straight,
and he's never done any one of us any wrong.
Picture a workaholic, hiking across the desert,
and that sort of sums up our "no bullshit" Dad,
he's a tough business man, "an accountant by trade",
but at selling toilets, he's not at all half bad.
You are the greatest gift on earth,
in fact, a gift from God above,
and now I know the meaning of marriage,
and now I know the meaning of true love.
Well, I think "you", are indeed, my real gift,
because I love you truly, with all my heart and soul,
for with you in my life, I feel complete,
you are the one that makes me completely whole.
She loved the Lord and shared that gift with us all,
she had a big heart and taught us all how to give,
she was always thinking of and doing for others,
in truth, I think she taught us all how to live.
You gave me the courage to follow in your steps,
and at the end of day, that?s the greatest gift of all,
as Dad, because of you I walk taller,
in fact, I feel like I?m ten feel tall!
It also seemed to give you the courage to start the business,
it seems like Jesus lit up your path, your destiny,
well, that gave our family more time to be together,
you don?t know what that has meant to me.
And you're such a perfect gent, a true romantic,
your little presents always give me a such lift,
and you've told me that even when we're married,
you said that you'll still make a point of giving me a gift.
And I miss our little chats by the BBQ,
and I miss bringing you a glass of red wine,
but I know we?ve built this deep bond of trust,
and that will last beyond the very last line.
