Thank you for making me smile
Thank you for being my friend
Through the ups and the downs, every mile
You stayed with me until the end
In that time and in that place
I never thought I'd see your face
Now days apart and years between
You're still the best thing I've ever seen
To some people that I know, you've given me grace
Through the distance, our love always leaves a trace
You shaped my world, you helped me grow
This song's for you, to some people that I know
I'm sorry for all the times I caused pain
For the moments when I couldn't explain
But in that time and in that place
I feared the truth, I feared your face
Now days apart and years between
You see me now, and I feel redeemed
To some people that I know, you've given me grace
Through the distance, our love always leaves a trace
You shaped my world, you helped me grow
This song's for you, to some people that I know
You are the one I miss the most
The one I wish I could have held close
But life took turns we didn't expect
Now all I have are memories to reflect
I don't regret the paths we took
I don't regret how long it shook
But in that time and in that place
You were my struggle, my bitter embrace
Now days apart and years between
I'm stronger now, and I feel serene
To some people that I know, you've given me grace
Through the distance, our love always leaves a trace
You shaped my world, you helped me grow
This song's for you, to some people that I know
Mom, there's so much I wish to say
You've been my guide in every way
Now it's time to give back what's true
Because, Mom, I owe it all to you
In that time and in that place
You gave me strength, you gave me space
Now days apart and years between
I hope you find your own serenity
