I'm Thankful, by Barbara Lewis

I'm Thankful (For What I Got)
(Barbara Lewis)

I'm thankful for what I've got
Don't pay no mind to what I've not instead
I'm thankful for what I've got
She's got herself a real life better
She's got herself a real life better

I ain't got enough time
To spend alone & feelin' sad
I ain't got nobody to aim for
But that's somethin' that don't really matter

I'm thankful for what I've got
Don't pay no mind to what I've not instead
I'm thankful for what I've got
I've got myself a real life better
She's got herself a real life better

There just ain't enough hours in one day
To sit & watch all my dreams come true
Every day is a sunshine day
I've got because I'm happy, not because I worry
& that is something I can surely be proud of
Now I've found how I've grown
All I really want in life for me
& it's not a dream, a dream come true
I've got the one I want & I've got the one I need
& I couldn't be more happy now, I really really mean it

(She's got herself a real life better
She's got herself a real life better)

I'm thankful for what I've got
Don't pay no mind to what I've not instead
I'm thankful for what I've got
I've got myself a real life better
She's got herself a real life better
I've got myself a real life better
She's got herself a real life better
Oh yeah...& fade

After leaving the music business over twenty years ago, Barbara Lewis is returning to live performance, and for that I'm thankful. Hear her latest song "Donor" at the transweb site.

I hope you and yours have a safe and peaceful day.

Happy Thanksgiving.
