47 Years
by John Michael Ray

I've never needed your shoulders anytime before,
But this one's gonna hurt before it's done,
Took 47 years,
Now I can't stop the tears,
And it feels like I have no where left to turn,

I haven't been the friend maybe I should have been,
But giving her my all was all I knew,
Took 47 years,
To realize my fears,
And now I don't know what I'm gonna do,

Then you held my hand,
Gave me a soft place to land,
Gave me a shoulder to cry on,
Gave me a new dawn,
You dried my tears,
You took away my fears,
Time and again,
I just want to thank you friend,

I don't know what I would have done without you,
My time of need, I turned and you were there,
Took 47 years,
And in those 47 years,
I've never seen such patience, love and care,

Then you held my hand,
Gave me a soft place to land,
Gave me a shoulder to cry on,
Gave me a new dawn,
You dried my tears,
You took away my fears,
Time and again,
I just want to thank you friend.
