The sun is up, the sky is blue,

There’s not a cloud in sight,

I lay awake the whole night through,

Until the early light,

I reached for you, a time or two,

And gently brushed your cheek,

Said how much you mean to me,

While you were sound asleep,

And I thanked you girl,

You moved a little then you smiled,

Giggled like a naughty child,

And it was such a lovely sight to see,

I felt so blessed to just be there,

To hold you close, and stroke your hair,

And feel the love within your heart for me,

I can’t explain what I did right,

To feel the way I did last night,

No, I can’t explain,

But if I could, if I just knew,

My darling one I swear to you,

I’d do it again,

And I thank you girl,

‘Cause there’s a million men would give their sight,

To take my place for just one night,

But you’re mine alone,

And I have no doubts, no nagging fear,

That when I wake, you won’t be here,

The way I’d known,

Within my heart there’s certainty,

My future’s lying next to me,

You are my world,

The one for whom I take each breath,

My gift of love and happiness,

And I thank you girl,

I thank you just for being you,

For being mine and being true ,

And making my life such a joy to live,

For every night and every day,

Each thing you do, each word you say,

Is filled with love that only you can give,

And I thank you girl, Oh, how I thank you girl,

I thank you for each smile, each tear,

Each sight I see, each sound I hear,

Each loving look I see upon your face,

For every time that our lips meet,

My heart just seems to miss a beat,

In your embrace,

And I thank you girl, Oh, how I thank you girl.
