I was young and didn't have nowhere to run
I needed to wake up and see what's in front of me
There has to be a better way
Say it again, a better way to show I'm grateful
So I thought of this song
To show my appreciation for lovin' me so long
You don't know how much you mean to me
'Cause even though when times got rough
You never turned away, you were right there
And I thank you, thank you
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away, you were right there
And I thank you, thank you
All through my life I knew that you'd be my world
Knowin' everywhere I go things you taught me, they would show
So many times and changes you've seen me through
I sure enough couldn't have survived without you
And so I thought of this song
To show my appreciation for lovin' me so long
You don't know how much you mean to me
'Cause even though when times got rough
You never turned away, you were right there
And I thank you, thank you
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away, you were right there
And I thank you, thank you
'Cause even though when times got rough
You never turned away, you were right there
And I thank you, thank you
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away, you were right there
And I thank you, thank you
You were right by my side, and I think you
'Cause even though when times got rough
You never turned away, you were right there
And I thank you, thank you
(I thank you, I thank you)
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away, you were right there
And I thank you, thank you
'Cause even though when times got rough
You never turned away, you were right there
And I thank you, thank you
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away, you were right there
And I thank you, thank you
'Cause even though when times got rough
You never turned away, you were right there
And I thank you, thank you
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away, you were right there
And I thank you, thank you
