Thank You for Being Here
[Verse 1] The kettle clicks; the morning takes its time A little patch of sun rests on the floor You ask me how I slept, and wait to hear As if my small reply is worth the pause [Pre-Chorus] Some days are made of ordinary things A coat held out, a place beside the door I used to hurry past the gifts they were Now I know what I was hurrying for [Chorus] Thank you for being here For staying close through every changing year For all the little ways you make this life feel kind I’m grateful for this breath, this hand in mine Thank you for being here I hope you know how much your presence means When the day is done, and all the noise is gone You’re one of the good things I can count upon [Verse 2] The train runs late; we share a paper cup You laugh because the lid has come undone The evening folds around the things we didn’t plan And somehow that becomes my favorite one [Pre-Chorus] No grand parade could say it half as well As making room for me when I come home You turn a crowded world into a place Where even quiet doesn’t feel alone [Chorus] Thank you for being here For staying close through every changing year For all the little ways you make this life feel kind I’m grateful for this breath, this hand in mine Thank you for being here I hope you know how much your presence means When the day is done, and all the noise is gone You’re one of the good things I can count upon [Bridge] If I forget to say it in the rush If simple words get caught behind my teeth Please hear it in the way I turn to you You make this life a life I want to keep [Final Chorus] Thank you for being here For every season, every small thing we share For all the little ways you make this life feel kind I’m grateful for this breath, this hand in mine Thank you for being here I hope you know you’re more than you can see When the day is done, one truth stays clear: My life is better with you here [Outro] The kettle cools; the morning carries on And I am glad, so glad, that you are here
