You thank me all the time   But now it’s my turn   Cause truly a word of gratitude so due   Can’t go unheard   And it made me feel better    To have you there in my corner   My eyes cast so low   My face could not have been   Drawn longer      I know you’ve been impressed   You’ve seen me at my best   But oh, how it hurts   When I can’t hide my worst   Well thank-you for carrying on   For playing with me and this song   It made me feel better   We sat it out like some passing bad weather      My mind was like kid’s boxing gloves   The kind blown up with air   That are put away after play   And get limp just lying there   But you knew they’d fill up again   And you gave me your shoulder   And I got up in the ring   Because I had you there    In my corner   And I got up in the ring   Because I had you there   In my corner
