Thank You Songtext
von Sheppard

When I couldn′t fall asleep
You'd read to me and lay right there at my side
If I grazed a knee from climbing trees
You′d comfort me as I cried
You made my lunches every day
And though you were running late
You would walk me all the way to school
Building castles out of sand
Way too young to understand
That life was easier because of you

So I wanna thank you
For making me half as good as you
And as I get older (Older, older)
I understand what I put you through
I misbehaved, I made mistakes
But you never turned away
So I wanna thank you (Thank you, thank you)
For all that you do
For all that you do


As a teen, I lied, ignored advice
Pretended I didn't care
I should let you know, it was all a show
I loved you more than I shared
I put your patience to the test
But you always did your best
You were tough, but you were never cruel
And now that I'm a man, I′m proud of who I am
And I know it′s all because of you

So I wanna thank you
For making me half as good as you
And as I get older (Older, older)
I understand what I put you through
I misbehaved, I made mistakes
But you never turned away
So I wanna thank you (Thank you, thank you)
For all that you do

You make me better (Better)
I would be nothing without you
So this is my letter (Letter)
'Cause I wanna show my gratitude
No, I′ve never been afraid
In the warmth of your embrace
And I'll keep that feeling all my life
I have always been your son
You will always be my mom
From the cradle ′til the day I die (Die, die)


So I wanna thank you
For making me half as good as you
And as I get older
I understand what I put you through
I misbehaved, I made mistakes
But you never turned away
So I wanna thank you (Thank you, thank you)
For all that you do (All that you do)
Yeah, I wanna thank you
For all that you do
For all that you do
