Throughout my lifetimes I'd hesitate

I'd feel some joy

But before I'd show my thanks it became too late

But now all the way I want to find the time

Stop and say

I thank you Lord for giving us each new day



And as I think back over so many years

Love that's filled my ears

I got to thank you Lord for giving us Pure Smokey

And anyone who hears - hears that voice so free

He really got a hold on me

And I thank you all for giving to us Smokey - Smokey



Singing it so sweetly

Like no one else could do

Always trying something new

I thank you all for giving us Pure Smokey
