lyrics
I Want To Thank You
Words and Music by Kate Ashby-Craft
Intro
Verse One
Whenever I see your face, I thank God that I’m alive
Whenever I see your smile, it makes my life worthwhile
You’ve restored my faith in myself and so I have to say
I want to thank you
Verse Two
It’s been a long time now and you’ve always kept that smile
Through thick and thin and the ups and downs you always stayed around you must have found it hard and so I have to say
I want to thank you
Chorus
I want to thank you for being there when no one else really cared
I want to thank you for staying here when things were going wrong
You always kept the faith you always knew things would work out
Verse Three
How hard it must have been but you never once complained
When the morning sun shines through, you’re up with the early dew
You say a brand new day means a brand new start and so I have to say
I want to thank you
