You've got to be thankful

and live each day as if it was your last

No matter the world outside, you should have a blast

You open the door

And your dog is waiting for you

A lick and a bark

so you throw a bone and play

You take off your shoes

Then, you turn on the record player

Your favorite song makes you wonder about your day

You sit on the couch

Drinking a glass of wine

But something is missing; there is no doubt about it

And that's when you feel

Inspired by her perfume

Making your dreams seem real

You've got to be thankful and live each day

as if it was your last

No matter the world outside, you should have a blast

You go downstairs

The birds are singing through the air

The smell of coffee brings your morning smile

You put your favorite record on

That's important, 'cause as they say

""Music can save lives and brighten your day""

Your dog starts licking

You just keep singing

The melody grows and finally goes upstairs

Before you leave

You make her breakfast

And just wait for a kiss

It's time to try and make a better place to live

See the beauty of things

and be no stranger to love

You've got to be thankful

and live each day as if it was your last

No matter the world outside, you should have a blast
