Twila Paris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before I even touch the floor I look up to the sky
And I say thank you for this day
I want to make you happy all day long
You are my Father and I love You
I'm glad you made the sky so blue
You are my God and I will praise you
Last thing in the evening when I am all tucked in
And I am thinking peaceful thoughts because of You my friend
I say thank you for this day
Please forgive the things that I did wrong
I'm glad when I am weak but you're so strong
You are my Father and I love You
I'm glad you made the stars so bright
You are my God and I will praise you
Before I fall asleep I'd like to say goodnight
