Lyrics

Grateful
Words & Music By Paula Boggs
2012


VERSE 1
Night breaks from its mooring to reveal your face.
As I get down on my knees to pray for God’s dear grace in bringing you into my life and nesting love.
A tear crosses my eye, a kiss from God above.

You’re with me when I’m angry and blue.
And I don’t deserve the love you give freely and new. But I try to be your lover and a friend.
An anchor when you need it or want it.

CHORUS
You have saved me
You have saved me
You have lights in your eyes; I see sage lights in your eyes.
You have saved me and I’m grateful.

VERSE 2
I was a child before we met just killing time.
I couldn’t know the life we’d lead,
The curving line that travels from the green earth to nations made of clay. And molds us to be ourselves and write our own screenplay (every day).

I love you brazen with light beneath your eyes.
You’re patient, holy, sexy and wise.
And I don’t take you for granted; you’ll always own my heart. You, me, family, ‘til death pulls us apart. (Apart)

CHORUS


Outro
You know I’m grateful.
Light in your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes.
Light in your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes.
Light in your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes.
Oh honey, you have saved me.
