Thank you for teaching me how to love 
Showing me what the world means 
What I've been dreamin' of 
And now I know, there is nothing that I could not do 
Thanks to you 

For teaching me how to feel 
Showing me my emotions 
Letting me know what's real 
From what is not 
What I've got is more that I'd ever hoped for 
And a lot of what I hope for is 
Thanks to you 

No mountain, no valley 
No time, no space 
No heartache, no heartbreak 
No fall from grace 
Can't stop me from believing 
That my love will pull me through 
Thanks to you 

There's no mountain, no valley 
No time, no space 
No heartache, no heartbreak 
No fall from grace 
Can't stop me from believing 
That my love will see me through 
Thanks to you 
Thanks to you 

For teaching me how to live 
Putting things in perspective 
Showing me how to give 
And how to take 
No mistake 
We were put here together (thanks to you)
And if I breakdown 
Forgive me but it's true (thanks to you)
That I'm aching with the love I feel inside 
Thanks to you, you
Thanks to you
