| Yeah, he made the rain, but you made me wanna dance in it He hung the moon, but I know you had a hand in it I’m in heaven every day, so when he goes and calls my name, no I ain’t looking for a cloud of 50 acres I ain’t flying down a back road street of gold When the day comes and I get to meet my maker If I make it through, first thing I do is thank him for making you |
