Bill Anderson - Thanks lyrics

Sunday morning in the valley

We would gather for the service

You would always run to meet me

You'd smile at papa kinda nervous.

All the people came from miles around

And I can still hear the sound.

As they sang thanks to the Lord

For the sun up in the sky

For the corn that's growin' high

And for the child that didn't die.

Thanks to the Lord

For the crops and for the farm

For the strenght in my right arm

And for keepin' us from harm.

And I say thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks to

The Lord for a girl like you.

Come the day that we were married

With all our folks from the congregation

Honey, you looked just like an angel

The sweetest thing in all creation.

Papa hugged me and my mama cried

Everybody smiled with pride.

As they sang thanks to the Lord

For the sun up in the sky

For the corn that's growin' high

And for the child that didn't die.

Thanks to the Lord

For the crops and for the farm

For the strenght in my right arm

And for keepin' us from harm.

Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks to

The Lord for a girl like you...
