Recorded by Jean Shepard

G C G
For overlooking what I've been and saying you love me
C G A7 D7
You'll never know just what it means that from my past I'm free
G C G
For seeing the real me beneath my lonely gay disguise
C G D7 G
For looking right into my heart I'll thank you all my life
C G C G
I saw you in a crowd that night you were different from the start
C G A7 D7
I fell for you but never hoped that I could win your heart
G C G
I'll ask the good Lord up above I'll ask him every night
C G D7 G
To make me worthy of your love I'll thank you all my life
C G
Oh I'll love you a thousand years and faithful I will be
C G A7 D7
For giving me a love that's real a dream that I can see
G C G
Once down the wrong road I was led by faithless love and lies
C G D7 G
For making me believe again I'll thank you all my life
C G C G
A house that's ours and I don't care if it is large or small
C G A7 D7
Some boys and girls and I don't care if they are short or tall
G C G
For overlooking what I've been my past and wasted life
C G D7 G
And giving all of this to me I'll thank you all my life
