Michael Land Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How could we recount all you've done on this side of heaven
We're grateful and we want to say...
Thank you, For all the things you say and do
Thank you, For showing us a love that's true
Thank you, This simple song is not enough
Thank you, thank you, for loving us
All those summer nights spent with you sittin' on your porch swing
I can still hear your voice and the songs that you'd sing
Sweet memories that won't fade away...
Thank you, For all the things you say and do
Thank you, For showing us a love that's true
Thank you, This simple song is not enough
Thank you, thank you, for loving us
The way you laugh, your goodbye kiss
That faithful birthday card
Your Bible and your prayer list
Yes, that's who you are
Thank you, For all the things you say and do
Thank you, For showing us a love that's true
Thank you, This simple song is not enough
Thank you, thank you, for loving us
