You held my tiny hand back then
I thought those days would never end
Even when I cried out loud
You stayed with me and wore a smile
Now I see I’ve grown somehow
We don’t talk the way we used to now
I couldn’t even understand
All the love you gave with open hands
I couldn’t say what I feel inside
So I kept turning away and hide
But deep in my heart
I’ve wanted to say
Thank you… I still haven’t said it
Though it’s right here in my chest
Time keeps slipping through my hands
I just wanna say it now
I’m sorry… for acting so strong
For the days I pushed you away
Still you never changed at all
You were always here for me
You hid your tired face from me
Now I finally start to see
Without a word you carried on
That quiet strength was there all along
It wasn’t something I deserved
All those days and all your love
When I think of losing you
It’s the only thing I fear
If tomorrow never comes
If I don’t get one more chance
All I’d have is regret
So I won’t wait again
Thank you… I wanna say it now
Even if my voice might shake
I just want it to reach your heart
Can you hear me now?
I’m sorry… for all those years
That I couldn’t say the words
From now on I promise you
I’ll say “thank you” again and again
Like the flowers dancing in springtime wind
You wrapped me up in gentle love
No matter what my future holds
I’ll walk ahead with the strength you gave
Thank you… I finally said it
Tears are falling down my face
But I know these words are true
This is my true love
I’m sorry… I know I’m late
But I’m glad I was born to you
From the bottom of my heart
I’m proud to be your child
