Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
Thank You For A Good Year
[Chorus]
I wanna thank you for a good year
For those good times that I have received
I wanna thank you for a good year
For the blessings that you've given me

[Verse 1]
I'm thankful for the countless blessings
My whole family's health is just fine
And through this year, a thousand tribulations
I hold on to my peace of mind

[Chorus]
I wanna thank you for a good year
For those good times that I have received
I wanna thank you for a good year
For the blessings that you've given me

[Verse 2]
At year-end, I always get nervous
You never know what the next year's gonna bring
So I don't complain about the days gone by
I just savor, my friend, to make a better tomorrow

[Chorus]
I wanna thank you for a good year (For a good year, yeah)
For those good times that I have received
(For all those good times I received, yeah)
I wanna thank you for a good year (For a good year)
For the blessings that you've given me
(For the blessings you've given me, I wanna thank you, yeah)
I wanna thank you for a good year (For a good year)
For those good times that I have received
(Good times that we have received, I wanna thank you)
I wanna thank you for a good year (Wanna thank you)
For the blessings that you've given me
[Bridge]
When something goes wrong
We say, Oh, Lord...
(Lead us on to help us through this storm)
When I'm praying for good health, He was always there
He's right by my side, my ever-guiding light

[Chorus]
I wanna thank you for a good year (Oh Father)
For those good times, that I have received
(And I wanna thank You for bringing me life)
I wanna thank you for a good year
(And I wanna thank You, oh, Heavenly Father)
For the blessings that you've given me

[Bridge]
You've given me health (Yeah)
You've given me wealth (Yeah)
You've given me life (Yeah)
And understanding
You've given me love (Yeah)
He lives in my heart (Yeah)
You gave me a new start (Yeah)
Oh, ooh, I wanna thank you (Thank you...)
Our Father (For a good year...)
Heavenly Father (For the good time...)
Oh (That I have received)
