Thankful

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why

I got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

& I can't see at all

& even if I could it'd all be grey,

but your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad,

it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay,

my head just feels in pain

I missed the bus & there'll be hell today,

I'm late for work again

& even if I'm there, they'll all imply

that I might not last the day

& then you call me & it's not so bad,

it's not so bad &

I want to thank you

for giving me the best day of my life

Oh just to be with you

is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last

& I'm soaking through and through

Then you hand me a towel

& all I see is you

& even if my house falls down,

I wouldn't have a clue

Because you're near me &

I want to thank you

for giving me the best day of my life

Oh just to be with you

is having the best day of my life
