For Each Remembered Name Lyrics

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 world
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
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
