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
In hopes that I can be
The one who makes you see
The importance of
Unconditional love
Unconditional love
Now 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
And I'll be there
So then I'll just say

Unconditional love
Unconditional love

I just can't see
Nothing in return
And the little I've left

All of me gave to me
Unconditional love
No, no
