Verse:

I was young (BOP)

And didn't have no where to run

I needed to (wake up) and see (and see)

What's in front of me (na-na-op)

There had to be, a better way

To show I'm grateful (hum)

So I thought up this song

To show my appreciation for lovin' me so long

You don't know how much you mean to me

Chorus:

Cause even though when times got rough

You never turned away

You were right there

And I thank you (thank you)

When I felt I had enough

You never turned away

You were right there

And I thank you (thank you)



Verse:

All through my life

I knew that you'd be my world

Knowing every where I go

Things you taught me they would show

So many times and changes

You've seen me through

I sure enough couldn't have survived without you

And so I thought up this song

To show my appreciation for lovin' me so long

You don't know how much you mean to me



Chorus
