GRATEFUL HEART

She gave to me the space
that I could be just who I was
She knew the pain I carried
and didn't need to know the cause

She knew enough from her own life
to know my pain's real deep
She didn't try to fix me
She just sat and let me weep

Thank you, thank you, thank you
were the words that I then said
"You've done for me a wondrous thing"
"You've helped to clear my head"

"It wasn't me that did it"
"It was you.... You are an Ace"
:I can't do for you what you just did"
"I just provide the space"
