[Verse]
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
Mmm, 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
Oh, 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
Oh, I was lost
Somewhere along life's road I was lost
And on that lonesome road our bridges crossed
You showed me the way to tender love
Oh, it's a miracle
Just like the sunshine makes the flower grow
That's just the way you change my whole life show
Through the sunshine of your tender love
Whoa, oh, thank you love
With every breath I take I thank you love
With every new daybreak I thank you love
I thank you 'cause you gave me true love
Oh, my darling, when I'm down
You'll gently squeeze these hands of mine
And I feel just like a child at Christmas time
'Cause I could feel the nearness of your love
Oh, my darling, I've been blessed
A precious thing is this that I possess
Could fill this heart of mine with happiness
I wanna really really thank you love
Oh, my baby, 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 true love
Thank you, thank you, thank you

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
