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...
