Heartbeat

You are my heartbeat

Stronger than what I eat

Better than sugar beet

Healthier than wheat

My love for you is extremely sweet

From the first day we meet

Honey, loving you is better than money

Sweeter than honey

Together you and I are full of laughter so funny

Our journey is unending

And forever resounding

Always maturing in knowing

And growing

You are my heartbeat

Loving you is my meet

I am satisfied and full

From the treasures of my heart to you

Every day, every year spent with you is anew

A wife so fair and a mother who is always there

Whom I love with every care and is dear

I appreciate you more than you know, so let’s take things slow,

That we may continue to grow.

For what I believe in me

The core of my existence

Not leaving anything to chance

Keep on going through the distance

You are the apple of my eyes

Daughter you always put a smile on my face

And you will win the race

Because I believe you are no disgrace

I love and appreciate you

You are more precious than silver and gold

My love for you will remain even

When you grow old

It will always be there with you

The day is new, it is bright

No darkness

Nothing can separate you from the light

So do what you believe

Keep a glow

Be a star, you will go far

You know the right way to go

I will always love you.
