Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was young
And didn't have nowhere to run
I needed to wake up, and see
What's in front of me, na-na-na
There has to be a better way
Sing it again, a better way
To show I'm grateful
So I thought of 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 2]
All through my life
I knew that you'd be my world
Knowing everywhere I go
Things you taught me, they would show
So many times and changes
You've seen me through
I sure 'nough wouldn't have survived without you, 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, oh
[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
[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
[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
[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
[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
[Outro]
'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
[Outro]
'Cause even though when times got rough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you, thank you
