Thank You
Jennifer Nettles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have I ever told you how much it meant
For all your kindness
I am blessed, and I thought you should know
How much you've helped me grow and

I want to thank you
I want to tell you this
That you've made me the happiest
Thank you

Have I ever shown you all my heart
For all I owe you, where would I start?
A lifetime to count the ways wouldn't be enough to say
I thought that you should know
How much you've helped me grow

And I want to thank you
I want to tell you this
For all of your selflessness
Thank you

I want to say I love you
And if we never meet again
You should know you have changed my life
Just by being a friend, oh

Could I ever repay you for all you've done?
Out of all my blessings, you're the greatest one
And I thought that you should know
How much you've helped me grow

And I want to thank you
I want to tell you this
That you've made me the happiest
Thank you




Thank you
Thank you
