I Want to Thank You (extended)

I wanna thank You, Heavenly Father,
For shining Your light on me;
You sent me someone who really loves me,
And not just my body...

He keeps me happy, so very happy, he loves me;
I don't know how to be...
It's been a long time since I had someone who loves me;
I owe my thanks to Thee...

I know it could not happen without Your love;
Ooh, without Your love, oh...

It took a long time for it to happen,
But I knew those nights I prayed,
That You would send me someone who's real,
And not the one for play...

I kept the faith and didn't worry;
My nights grew longer than the days...
Until one day, it really happened:
He sent true love my way...

I know it couldn't have happened without You;
Ooh, without You, ooh...

When the time is right, He'll fill your life with love and care;
Believe, and He'll be there...
Just do all right, don't do no wrong, and keep the faith,
The Lord will shine His light your way...

Thank You, Father,
For shining Your light on me;
I prayed a long time for it to happen;
I did 'cause I believe...

He makes me happy, so very happy;
I don't know how to be!
It's been a long time since I had someone who loves me;
I owe my thanks to Thee...

I know it couldn't have happened without You;
Ooh, without You, ooh...

I know it couldn't have happened without Your love;
(My nights were long and blue, until He sent me you...)
Ooh, without Your love, oh, oh, ah...

I know it couldn't have happened without You;
(My nights were long and blue, until He sent me you...)
Ooh, without You...

I know it couldn't have happened without You;
(My nights were long and blue, until He sent me you...)
Ooh without You

I know it couldn't have happened without You;
(My nights were long and blue, until He sent me you...)
Ooh, without You...
