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 sing it again now
Better way to show I'm great

So I thought of this song
To show my appreciation for loving 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've felt I've 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
Goin' everywhere I go things you taught me they were so
So many times and changes you've seen me through
I surely wouldn't have survived without you, you

So I thought of this song
To show my appreciation for loving 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've felt I've had enough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you, thank you
