Thank God, for You and Me

When you were born
Your momma said
The lord bless you and keep you
In everything that you do, take heart

When you were eight
Your daddy said
Never take your life for granted
Believe in second chances, my love

When the world spins madly on
Remember that you belong

You are strong
You are brave
You are all you’re meant to be
Everything You ever dreamed, came true

When you laugh
When you cry
I’ll be always on your side
And thank God, for you and me

When you were twelve
Your brother said
I will always have your back
When you’re happy when you’re sad, through it all

When you were sixteen
Your auntie said
I remember my first broken heart
Don’t let it steal your spark, my love

When the world spins madly on
Remember that you belong

You are strong
You are brave
You are all you’re meant to be
Everything You ever dreamed, came true

When you laugh
When you cry
I’ll be always on your side
And thank God, for you and me

When we’re older
We will say
What a life, I think we made it
We worked hard, and never said quit my love

When we’re older
The kids will say
The lord bless you and keep you
In everything that you do take heart

You are strong
You are brave
You are all you’re meant to be
Everything You ever dreamed, came true

When you laugh
When you cry
I’ll be always on your side
And thank God, for you and me
