Not so long ago, i packed my bags a hundred times
Didn't seem to know how to stop or to unwind
Goin' nowhere, a man without a dream

Guess my lucky star fell the day you came along
To my lonely heart you are like a special song
Singing sweetly your tender melody

Thanks to you
The child in me lives again
Thanks to you
I have found a peace within
I know where i'm goin' and what i want to do
Thanks to you

Lying in you arms i found my greatest pleasure
I look into your eyes and dream about forever

Wakin' up with you and lookin' forward to the day
What we plan to do, knowin' anything at all's okay
A life has a meaning
Love has got a name

Thanks to you
The child in me lives again
Thanks to you
I have found a peace within
I know where i'm goin' and what i want to do
Thanks to you

Thanks to you
The child in me lives again
Thanks to you
I have found a peace within
I know where i'm goin' and what i want to do
Thanks to you
