Verse 1:
For EmMemories on a Cstarlit night
North of the GDenbigh line, oh LoEmrd
For frosted Dpines shining like diamonds in the Emmorning sun
For a Cpretty girl and for falling in Glove, oh love
For Dspring ice churning the driftwood shore
For Embirdsong air and windswept hair
For Cfiddle head strings and flower Gbows
For Dthunder clouds rolling in a purple evening
While EmAspen leaves play tambourine
For a Amsoul, a song, Cand a voice to Dsing, just what I'm thinking
Chorus:
GThank you God for the open sky
DMysterious depths of her ocean eyes
GThank you Bmfor my dCreams, my dreamGs
A poetry both Dtragic and beautiful
GThank Bmyou for liCfe.
Verse 2:
For everything Emrevealed to see
For what's kept in Cmystery, oh GLord
From the Dfiner things to the shirt on my back
The Emless I have, the less I lack
The Ampassion and Call that's within Dme, all that's within me
Bridge 1:
BehDind every wonder I find a clue
BeEmginning to believe that it's coming true
I Dlook unto a new rose dawn debut
BeEmcause of every breath You make me new
BeAmfore I Dturn it Gin toCnight
DThank You
Bridge 2:
BeDhind every wonder I find a clue
BeEmginning to believe that it's coming true

BeEmcause of every breath You make me new
BeAmfore I Dturn it iGn toniCght
DThank You, EmThank You
BeAmfore I Dturn it iGn toCnight
