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's really got a hold on me
And I thank you all for giving 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
