For overlooking what I've been and saying you love me You'll never know just what it means that from my past I'm free For seeing the real me believe my lonely gaitest guys For looking right into my heart I'll thank you all my life I saw you in a crowd that night you were different from the start I fell for you but never hoped that I could win your heart I'll ask the good Lord up above I'll ask him every night Who make me worthy of your love I'll thank you all my life [ guitar ] Oh I'll love you a thousand years and faithful I will be For giving me a love that's real a dream that I can see Once down the wrong road I was led by faithless love and life For making me believe again I'll thank you all my life For house that's ours and I don't care if it is large or small Some boys and girls that I don't care if they are short or tall For overlooking what I've been my past and wasted life And giving all of this to me I'll thank you all my life
