Hi Berry,

This is Diane, this is Mary, Florence

And on behalf of everyone at Motown

We also wish to extend our congratulations

We couldn't get along without you

Just couldn't feel the song without you

Without your hand to guide our way

We'd all be lost somewhere in yesterday

We need your strength

We need your courage too

We need your constant faith to see us through

We couldn't get along without you

Just couldn't feel the song without you

You gave us hope when all our hope was gone

With wise and patient hands you kept hangin' on

When things were dark, You brought us shining light

Words cannot express the way we feel tonight

Berry, on behalf of the people at home

And the people all over this country

To whom you are a shining example

Our deepest congratulations

And of course our deepest love

We need you now more than before

Success is one thing, but you taught us much more

We couldn't get along without you

Just couldn't feel the song without you

The world should know the man inside

Who worked with courage and a deep sense of pride

Your strong and guiding hand has shown us the way

From those who love you most we just want to say

We couldn't get along without you

Just couldn't feel the song without you...
