Thanksgiving Prayer - James Stewart

We've come to the time in the season When family and friends gather near To offer a prayer of Thanksgiving For blessings we've known through the year To join hands and thank the creator And now when Thansgiving is due This year when I count my blessings I'm thanking the Lord He made you I'm grateful for the laughter of children The sun and the wind and the rain The color of blue in your sweet eyes The sight of a high ball and train The moon rise over a prairie Old love that you've made new This year when I count my blessings I'm thanking the lord He made you And when the time comes to be going It won't be in sorrow and tear I'll kiss you goodbye and I'll go on my way Grateful for all of the years I thank for all that you gave me For teaching me what love can do Thanksgiving day for the rest of my life I'm thanking the Lord He made you Thanksgiving day for the rest of my life I'm thanking the Lord He made you

I got this song in my head, I wanna sing to you But I keep stalling instead, I don't know what to do You make it hard to forget, I've got a lot to lose But I'm not giving up yet, the words are overdue I can't get you out of my mind I'm losing sleep tonight I wanna be that guy Stand up and tell you why I need you to be mine But you got me paralysed They tell me to be brave What if you walk away? I know the things I should say But I'm a little bit shy, shy Just a little bit shy, shy I would just grab your hand and pull you close to me When you're talking so fast, know I'm listening And when he don't call you back, maybe it's meant to be 'Cause I want you so bad, I'd give anything I can't get you out of my mind I'm losing sleep tonight Oh, God, why don't I try? I wanna be that guy Stand up and tell you why I need you to be mine But you got me paralysed They tell me to be brave What if you walk away? I know the things I should say But I'm a little bit shy, shy Just a little bit shy, shy Let me light it for ya Like a supernova Losing my composure So high Let's not waste the feeling Staring at the ceiling Wait, my heart is beating I think I'll be that guy Stand up and tell you why I need you to be mine But you got me paralysed They told me to be brave So don't you walk away I know the things I should say But I'm a little bit shy, shy Just a little bit shy, shy Just a little bit shy, shy Just a little bit shy

I can't bring myself to throw out your chapstick It still rolls around the glove box where you left it As stupid as it sounds, I still got it now 'Cause parts of me knows parts of you will always regret it If you don't leave me in your past I'll always see you as my future I can't love just half of you Just do what you gotta do Let me crash, let me burn It's a better kinda hurt When it's all been said and done Maybe then I'll give you up Now I'm begging you for mercy And I'm praying you'll desert me So promise me you're never coming back I would spend a hundred nights alone if I had to Maybe then I'd start to picture me without you 'Cause I can't escape the pain It's like I'm bleeding either way It's that first time that you left I'm going back to Oh, if you don't leave me in your past I'll always see you as my future I can't love just half of you Just do what you gotta do Let me crash, let me burn It's a better kinda hurt When it's all been said and done Maybe then I'll give you up Now I'm begging you for mercy And I'm praying you'll desert me So promise me you're never coming back Leave me in the aftermath, oh Leave me in the aftermath, oh You know I still love you We both know exactly what you're doing Give me just enough to keep me Coming back so there's no moving on, oh There's no moving on, oh Let me crash, let me burn It's a better kinda hurt When it's all been said and done Maybe then I'll give you up Now I'm begging you for mercy And I'm praying you'll desert me So promise me you're never coming back Leave me in the aftermath, oh Leave me in the aftermath, oh, oh Leave me in the aftermath, oh
