THANKS FOR YOU

(Bernie Hanighen / Marvin Wright)

as recorded by June Christy
with Stan Kenton (piano)
1955


Thanks for you,
I offer my grateful heart now,
Sure that I know my part now
In the scheme of things.

Thanks to you,
The music of love can reach me,
Heaven sent you to teach me
Every theme it sings.

My Winter's changed around
Into a thousand Springs,
My feet have found the ground
And yet my heart has wings.

Thanks to you,
The glow of the dawn is sweet now,
All of my dreams complete now,
So I offer thanks to you!

Into a thousand Springs,

And yet my heart has wings.

Thanks to you,
The glow of the dawn is sweet now,
All of my dreams complete now,
So I offer thanks to you!
