Lyrics
THANKSGIVING DAY
Written by: Dave Zobl
Pass the potatoes to the head of the table
From the busy hands that did all the peeling
Every year this day is a staple
Designed for gratitude and healing
How many times have I sat here
From my days as a little boy
All the lessons of yesteryear
Are the values I now employ
CHORUS:
And time it goes by so fast
The future soon becomes your past
Better take these special days
And make them last
Thanksgiving Day
Generations have come and gone
Lost loved ones we hold so dear
From the old to the very young
They always find a warm home here
Though it all there?s been ups and downs
Through it all we did the best we could
Priorities get lost and found
The ones that matter stay the way they should
Chorus:
So before I fill up my plate
With one eye on the Lions game
I?ll talk a moment and hesitate
And give thanks from where it came?
