I want to tell you 'cause it's true, I want to tell you in a way that sounds new, It's so old-fashioned - but that's the way I feel for you, I'd heard the music of Marvin Gaye But I finally understood it today, I heard the record like I never had before, And I just want to say thank you For everything you do, Thank you for all the things that you do, Your love and kindness are heaven-sent, Now I know exactly what the man meant, When he said "Thank you for lettin' me be myself" And now I know without a doubt, Just what Sam & Dave were talking about, You didn't have to, but you did just what you did, And I gotta say thank you, For everything you do Thank you for all the things that you do, You've heard the title a thousand times, Same old message but I'm makin' it mine, 'Cause I'm so thankful tat you came into my life, And I just gotta say thank you For everything you do Thank you for all the things that you do.
