thankful

Ringo Starr

I had it all
Then I started to fall
I turned away from all the things that mattered
I was lost in the dust
No one to trust
My world came crashing down and shattered

Then you came along
My shelter from the storm
I put my life into your hands
And you made me a better man

And now I m thankful for the love you ve shown
Your love for me I ve never known
Thankful for the stars above
Hoping for more peace and love
Thankful when the Sun is shining
Day by day, I m really trying
Thankful for this moment here
And thankful you are here

I needed a friend
To help me along
I needed somebody here to help me sing my song
Now I have good days
I m changing my ways
And it s a beautiful day
Here in California

When you came along
My shelter from the storm
I put my life into your hands
And you made me a better man

And now I m thankful for the love you ve shown
Your love for me I ve never known
Thankful for the stars above
Hoping for more peace and love
Thankful when the Sun is shining
Day by day, I m really trying
Thankful for this moment here
And thankful you are here (Thankful you are here)
You are here
