Thank You
      by brightspot, 5/19/99 - For my family, from my heart.
 
Sometimes the days
        seem so very long.
Sometimes, everything I do
        is wrong.
Sometimes I feel
        like giving up.
I get tired of fighting
        for the golden cup.

And when the nights
        get a little lonely.
And when I think
        the pressures on me solely;
somehow I know
        your smile will shine on me -
And it will open my eyes
        to the things I long to be.

    Chorus
        Because you're there.
                And you put your arms about me,
                and you look beyond what I see,
                And tell me it's ok.
        I know you care.
                That there's someone in my corner.
                that there's something here to live for,
                and everything's ok...
                        because you're there.

Sometimes the world,
        is way too much to handle.
When we're alone,
        it's hard to see the candle.
But there's a window
        where a small light gleams.
And it helps to know
        that it's for you it beams.

    Chorus
        That someone's there.
                And when they wrap their arms about you
                they can see things the same way you do,
                and they can say that it's ok.
        You know they care.
                It's in the way they tell you
                that tomorrow will be brand new,
                and it will be ok...
                        because they care.

        How can I share
        my gratitude for you?
        For all the things in my life
        that have changed for me because of you?

        I hope and pray
        somehow you will know.
        That the message gets to you
        for the times that I don't show -

    FinalChorus
         How much I care
                that you put your arms about me
                and you freed the traps that bound me;
                your love made it ok.
         And I'm always here.
                If you need someone to listen
                even when the teardrops glisten
                I will wipe them all away.
                        Because I care!

                        Because I care........

                                        Because you're....there.
