North of the Denbigh line, oh Lord

For frosted pines shining like diamonds in the morning sun

For a pretty girl and for falling in love, oh love

For thunder clouds rolling in a purple evening

While Aspen leaves play tambourine
Am C D
For a soul, a song, and a voice to sing, just what I'm thinking

Thank you God for the open sky

Mysterious depths of her ocean eyes

Thank you for life.

The less I have, the less I lack

The passion and all that's within me, all that's within me

Before I turn it in tonight

Thank You
