[Verse 1]
Thank you for staying around so long, I know it's been hard
You spend half your life, just testing the ground
Thank you, I thought you would come to along
I didn't know when and all of those years, just foolin' around

[Verse 2]
Thank you for taking me as I am, no better than you
You give me your love, you take it from me
Thank you for staying around so long, I know it's been hard
You spend half your life, just testing the ground
Thank you, you like all my funny ways, the things that I do
We both understand, to give and to be

[Chorus]
Thank you for waiting such a long time
And strange that it just had to be, yeah, yeah
It's true, you look, you keep on trying, had to keep on trying
Search for half a life time, suddenly it's there

[Verse 3]
Thank you for being here where I am, it's better by far
Not living alone, the future to share
Thank you, for loving me like you do, for being my friend
And taking my hand, and sharing my cares
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Thank you for waiting such a long time
And strange that it just had to be, yeah, yeah
It's true, you look, you keep on trying, had to keep on trying
Search for half a life time, suddenly it's there

[Outro]
Thank you for staying around so long, I know it's been hard
You spend half your life, just testing the ground
Thank you, I thought you would come to along
I didn't know when and all of those years, just foolin' around
