You're a dear, a darling,
A devastatingly devious diva.
I admire you to no end.
I love to watch you go nuts, freak out, stress out, laugh until you snort.
You dear, you are the wickedest in the world.
No matter what the people say,
You're gorgeous.

I know that you can feel absurd,
You can feel unloved, you can feel left out.
But honey no one can make you feel that unless you let them think you care.

You don't need any one's opinion.
You don't need approving stares.
All that matters is that you're gorgeous,
You're talented,
You're free,
You believe.
You live for you.

“Sing like there's no-one listening” ...
You already do.

“Live everyday like it's your last” ...
You already do.

“Speak your mind” ...
You already do.

“Believe in yourself” ...
I know you can do that.

Don't you ever doubt yourself.
Don't you ever doubt your visions.
Don't ever make yourself believe you're not
What you are meant to be.

You're an image of perfection,
You're a vision, the most amazing person I've ever met.

Admiration is the word, the feeling that escapes me.
I admire your strength,
I admire your beauty,
I admire your brain,
I admire yourself.

There's not much one can say, to another so marvelous.
But you are a nut, a wack-job,
A spaz-case beyond comprehension.
We are two peas in a pod,
Two birds of a feather,
A Superhero and Sidekick, depending on the weather.

You are more than I could ever be.

Stronger, more bold, more what I wished I'd be.
To speak your mind,
To lay your heart out on the line,
(more than one time),
To still live as though blind, to the beauty you possess,
Kind of makes me want to...
Recite your mantra.

“The V. Boys smell funny.
I am better than the V. Boys will ever be!
The V. Boys are nothing compared to Labelle-Lamontagne!”

Don't you ever forget.
Don't you ever let yourself be put down
Don't you ever believe you're less than you sound.

You're a marvelous person,
The best of the best.
No one could ever assume you're anything else.

Remember one last thing.
The most important fact is, you're loved:
by Family, by Friends, but most importantly by Me.

Keep on living the way you do.
Be loud, be bold, be completely true.

Without you I'm not exactly sure what I would do.
For excitement, for laughs, for just plain good times

You're my wonder, my thunder ;-),
My faithful friend.
But most of all darling,

You're you.
