Thank You For The Years

Thank You For The Years

 

Verse 1

When I was younger

I was shy and quiet

Though I had things to say

I wouldn’t speak my mind

Even if I wasn’t alone

I still felt lonely

All that changed

When you came into my life

 

Verse 2

You understood me

When other thought I was confusing

I opened up to you

And you saw my point of view

When I felt like giving up

You convinced me otherwise

The time you spent with me

Truly changed my life

Bridge

I cherish you

And everything you’ve done for me

I’m forever grateful

For your patience and empathy

You’ve given me the greatest gift of all

Unconditional love

I feel it every time I breathe

Chorus 1

Thank you for the years

You’ve been by my side

I never could have lasted

This long without your support

My heart overflows with emotions

Both strong and true

I have grown in many ways

All because of the love you gave to me

 

Chorus 2

Thank you for the years

You’ve been by my side

I never could have lasted

This long without your support

My heart overflows with emotions

Both strong and true

I have grown in many ways

All because of your love

 

Chorus 3

Thank you for the years

You’ve been by my side

I never could have survived

Without your guidance

My heart overflows with emotions

Like they’ve never before

I have grown in many ways

All because of you and your love
