Lyrics
I keep a little list in my coat Names of the ones who threw me a rope The woman who held the door in the rain The man who said, call me again Thank you, thank you, a small word to say Thank you for the kindness along the way Thank you notes in my coat pocket Folded small, but I won't lose it Thank you, thank you, every day The baker who saved the last warm roll The friend who stayed when the night got cold A stranger's smile on a crowded train Carried me through the rain Thank you, thank you, a small word to say Thank you for the kindness along the way Thank you notes in my coat pocket Folded small, but I won't lose it Thank you, thank you, every day No one keeps the score of love But I remember all of it Every hand and every kind word I owe more than I can say Thank you, thank you, a small word to say Thank you for the kindness along the way Thank you notes in my coat pocket Folded small, but I won't lose it Thank you, thank you, every day Thank you, thank you Every day
