6. "Thank You"
Alek Vila : Lyrics
Thank You
Out of the darkness
there came a light one day–
showed me the Earth and the moon,
the sun and the rain.
I had no use for eyes
before your smile appeared.
Your presence opened my heart
the day you held me near.
I was feeling so worthless,
you made me feel like gold.
You’re like a suit of armor
I wear against the cold.
I had no use for smiles
until your heart appeared.
You showed a man how to laugh
and fall in love.
Now I just want to thank you
for saving my life,
and babe you’ve got to have
faith in me that I’m right,
and if you tell me to please go,
I’ll plead a tragic case–
because there’s no one on Earth
that can take your place
I was ready to turn back
but you brought me a roadmap,
laid it out where
our paths crossed with destiny.
Thought I needed some leeway
on a lover’s freeway–
now the road’s much smoother
than it used to be.
Thank you, my love.
You turned a hopeful journey
into something real,
and I wanted you to know
because you have
shaken every bone inside...
I just hope that I
can make you happy too.
