Johnny Cash Interview Lyrics
Johnny Cash
Lyrics
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 yo
