There's nothin' like the warmth
Of a summer afternoon
Waking to the sunlight, being cradled by the moon
Catching fireflies at night
Building castles in the sand
Kissin' mama's face goodnight
And holdin' daddy's hand
Thank You Lord
How could I ask for more
Runnin' barefoot through the grass
A little hide and go seek
And bein' so in love, that you can hardly eat
And dancin' in the dark
When there's no one else around
Bein' bundled 'neath the covers
Watchin' snow fall to the ground
Thank You Lord
How could I ask for more
So many things I've thought
Would bring me happiness
Some dreams that are realities today
Such an irony the things
That mean the most to me
Are the mem'ries that I made along the way
So if there's anything I've learned
From this journey I am on
Simple truths will keep you goin'
Simple love will keep you strong
'Cause there are questions without answers
And flames that never die
And heartaches we go through
Are often blessings in disguise
So thank You Lord
Ah thank You Lord
How could I ask for more
