Days are long, years are fast
Memories are relics of the past
Filled with the love and all the pain that didn't last
Summers hot, winters cold
Changing seasons remind me I'm getting old
Don't know how far I'll get
But there's one thing I know
I am thankful for the lows and highs
Thankful for the love and fights
I'm thankful to be laying next to you at night
Thankful for the tears
The lessons collected throughout the years
When all is said and done
I'm thankful to be here
Kids are home
They're growing fast
They tell me it will soon become the past
The days I wish would end
I'll wish I could get back
Passing time is bittersweet
Every goodbye could be the last time that we meet
The people that we know will become a memory
So I am thankful to be alive
Thankful for the laughs and cries
I'm thankful for the days and thankful for the nights
Thankful for the tears
The good times collected throughout the years
When all is said and done
I'm thankful to be here
Thankful to be here
