Thank you for the Mondays...

Songs speak to me. Its one of the reasons I love a good Broadway musical. The passion, lyrics, etc. always get me going. Music speaks to me. Especially when they have some sort of power to them.

This song speaks to me. Whenever I think about the lyrics, it makes me think of my mother and how important she is to me. The only hurdle emotionally I have with bringing a child into this world without a mother is that my child wouldn't know a mother... there's a lot of children who don't know their fathers, but this is different to me. And hard for me to accept at times.

I have wonderful women in my life who would provide some of that motherly love.

This song is called Thank You. The lyrics are beautiful. I hope you enjoy them on this Sabbath Sunday!

If I lived to be a thousand years,

If I ruled the word – it's hemispheres,

I could not repay the love you brought my way,

So, I want to say it now

To thank you for each day you gave me.

Thank you for the Mondays,

Saturdays and Sundays,

Everyday, the whole year through;

Thank you for the fun days,

All those number-one days,

Battles-to-be-won days, too;

I just want to say it,

Thank you for each day with…you.

We have just one life to seize the day,

We only have what time there is to say…

‘n'do what we must do, express our gratitude,

So, I want to say it and sing it now to you.

Thank you for the Mondays,

Saturdays and Sundays,Everyday,

the whole year through;

Thank you for the fun days,

All those number-one days,

Battles-to-be-won days, too;

I just want to say it,

Thank you for each day with…you.

At the close of every day,

When I close my eyes to pray,

All I need to do, is just to think of you…

Then, all I need to say…is…

Thank you for the Mondays,

Saturdays and Sundays,

Everyday, the whole year through;

Thank you for the fun days,

All those number-one days,

Battles-to-be-won days, too;

I just want to say it,

Thank you for each day with…you.
