Teresa

Since the day I met you, your true colors shined

A quiet kind of patient, the rarest one to find

Always thinking of the room, putting others before you

A helpful, caring spirit in everything you do

You move with such respect, so pleasant and so kind

Leaving a trail of love and peace everywhere behind

Oh, Teresa, never change who you are

I hope you know to yourself how special you are

Just keep on being you, doing everything from the heart

A bond like we have, nothing's tearing it apart

You're a wonderful person, through the joy and the strife

Teresa, you will always be my friend for life

You always show up ready, bringing food to share

Sweet desserts on the table, made with so much care

But when we step outside to play a bocce game

That quiet girl fades out, and your focus stakes a claim

You take it so serious, determined to the end

And when you take the victory, I hear you laugh, my friend

Oh, Teresa, never change who you are

I hope you know to yourself how special you are

Just keep on being you, doing everything from the heart

A bond like we have, nothing's tearing it apart

You're a wonderful person, through the joy and the strife

Teresa, you will always be my friend for life

It’s the balance that I love, the quiet and the loud

The way you serve the ones you love and make your people proud

So loving and respectful, but you play to take the crown

That beautiful, determined smile could turn the world around

Just keep doing what you do, exactly as you please

'Cause nobody brings the warmth the way you do with ease

So Teresa, never change who you are

I hope you know to yourself how special you are

Just keep on being you, doing everything from the heart

A bond like we have, nothing's tearing it apart

You're a wonderful person, through the joy and the strife

Teresa, you will always be my friend for life

Yeah, doing it from the heart...

Teresa, my friend for life.
