Thank you for a life that I'd call happy
A7                              D       A7
Overlookin' all that we've been through
D                                 G
When it comes to lovin' I've been lucky
A7                    D      A7
Everything I am I owe to you

D                                  G
Thank you for the little girls you gave me
A7                               D    A7
Thank you for them bouncin' baby boys
D                                  G
Thank you for the sadness that you saved me from the madness, baby
A7                              D    A7
All I'm cryin' now are tears of joy


Thank you for that burnin' sun that's risin'
Golden in the air that smells so sweet
Thank you for that empty far horizon
That opens to a new eternity


You know I'm grateful for the freedom and the chances
And every little piece of sweetness that I've known
And I'm grateful for the justice and the mercy
And all the truth and beauty I've been shown


So thank you for a life that I'd call happy
Overlookin' all that we've been through
When it comes to lovin' I've been lucky
Everything I am I owe to you
