[Verse 1]
Thank you, love
You made me happy in so many ways
Through all my sweet and tender yesterdays
You were the sunshine I needed, love
You were there
You warmed my heart when troubled skies would come
You were my one and only faithful one
I wanna really, really thank you, love
[Chorus]
Thank you, love
With all my heart and soul, I thank you, love
Each day that comes and goes, I thank you, love
I thank you 'cause you gave me true love
[Verse 2]
Oh, I was lost
Somewhere along life's road I was lost
There on that lonesome road, our bridges crossed
You showed me the way to tender love
'Cause it's a miracle
Just like the sunshine makes the flowers grow
That's just the way you changed my whole life so
Through the sunshine of you tender love
[Chorus]
I wanna thank you, love
With every breath I take, I thank you, love
With every new day break, I thank you, love
I thank you 'cause you gave me true love
[Bridge]
And you know when I'm down
And you gently squeeze this hand of mine
Come, baby girl
I feel just like a child at Christmastime
'Cause it's then I can feel nearness of your love
[Chorus]
That's why I thank you, love
With all my heart and soul, I thank you, love
Each day that comes and goes, I thank you, love
Thank you, love
You made me happy in so many ways
Through all my sweet and tender yesterdays
You were the sunshine I needed, love
You were there
You warmed my heart when troubled skies would come
You were my one and only faithful one
I wanna really, really thank you, love
[Chorus]
Thank you, love
With all my heart and soul, I thank you, love
Each day that comes and goes, I thank you, love
I thank you 'cause you gave me true love
[Verse 2]
Oh, I was lost
Somewhere along life's road I was lost
There on that lonesome road, our bridges crossed
You showed me the way to tender love
'Cause it's a miracle
Just like the sunshine makes the flowers grow
That's just the way you changed my whole life so
Through the sunshine of you tender love
[Chorus]
I wanna thank you, love
With every breath I take, I thank you, love
With every new day break, I thank you, love
I thank you 'cause you gave me true love
[Bridge]
And you know when I'm down
And you gently squeeze this hand of mine
Come, baby girl
I feel just like a child at Christmastime
'Cause it's then I can feel nearness of your love
[Chorus]
That's why I thank you, love
With all my heart and soul, I thank you, love
Each day that comes and goes, I thank you, love
