Unconditional Love

Here's to the people who gave me life And then showed me how to live it And taught me that you measure love By how freely you can give it And the gift I give to you Is the lesson that I learned That when a love is true It has nothing in return Unconditional love, that they gave to me It wasn't mine to keep and I knew someday I'd hand it down to you and hope that I can be The one who makes you see The importance of unconditional love And there were times I know I let them down But never once was I rejected And when I stood alone to face this world Somehow I still felt protected That's the common bond we share And it will last through the years And you can trust that I'll be there Through the good times and the tears Unconditional love, like they gave to me It's not yours to keep and I know someday Someone will look to you and you will have to be The one who makes him see The importance of unconditional love
