[Intro - warm piano, acoustic guitar, gentle groove] You know... I was making a list Of all the things I still wanted. Then I looked around... And forgot what I was complaining about. [Verse 1] Got a roof when the cold wind blows Got some people who know me close Got another morning showing up right on time Got a song in my heart and a little sunshine Not every day's easy Not everything goes right But I've seen enough darkness To appreciate the light And the older that I get The more clearly I can see Some of the greatest gifts I've got Never came with a receipt [Chorus] I'm a little more thankful today For the ordinary things along the way For a good conversation For a hand I can hold For another autumn morning Painted red and gold I don't need more To know I've been blessed Sometimes having enough Feels a whole lot like success So before this day gets away I'm gonna be A little more thankful today [Verse 2] Thankful for the laughter That catches me off guard For the people who stayed close When the road got hard For mistakes that taught me something For prayers that changed my plans Even some unanswered questions I can finally understand I've spent enough time counting Everything I haven't got Today I'm counting blessings Turns out... That's a lot. [Bridge - gospel harmonies begin building] For what I have For where I've been For doors that closed And ones that opened again For every breath For every chance For every person still beside me... Thank You, God. [Final Chorus - full uplifting band] I'm a little more thankful today For the ordinary things along the way For the hugs and the laughter For the stories we told For another autumn evening Painted red and gold I don't need perfect I already know I'm blessed And having people I can love Feels a whole lot like success So before this day gets away I'm gonna be A little more thankful... [Music pulls back] Not someday. Today. [Outro - piano and soft harmonies] Funny... The more blessings I count The richer I feel.
