Sitting here I'm thinkin back 
C9                            G
To a time when I was young my memory 
            D4/F#
Is clear as day
E4
I'm listening to the dishes clink
C9                            G
You were downstairs you would sing
         D4/F#
Songs of praise
E4
And all the times we laughed with you
C9                                        G
And all the times that you stayed true to us
       D4/F#
Now we say

      Em7
I say I thank you
            E4
I'll always thank you
C9
More than you would know
G
Than I could ever show
    Em7
And I love you
            E4
I'll always love you
C9
There's nothing I won't do 
G
To say these words to you
            F
That you're beautiful forever

E4
You were my mom you were my dad
C9                            G
The only thing I ever had was you
     D4/F#
It's true
E4
Even when the times got hard 
C9                            G
You were there to let us know
          D4/F#
We'd get through
E4
You showed me how to be a man
C9                                  G
You taught me how to understand the things
       D4/F#
People do
E4
You showed me how to love my God
C9                              G
You taught me that not everyone
          D4/F#
Knows the truth

      Em7
And I thank you
            E4
I'll always thank you
C9
More than you would know
