From what is not

What I've got is more that I'd ever hoped for

And a lot of what I hope for is

Thanks to you

No time, no space

No heartache, no heartbreak

No fall from grace

Can't stop me from believing

That my love will pull me through

Thanks to you

And the worries ahead, no charge

And the costs of your college, no charge

For the toys, school, and clothes

And for wiping your nose

When you add it all the full cost of my love is no charge
