Kris Kristofferson - Thank You For A Life Lyrics






Thank you for a life that I'd call happy
Overlooking all that we've been through
When it comes to loving I've been lucky
Everything I am I owe to you

Thank for the little girls you gave me
Thank you for them bouncing baby boys
Thank you for the sadness
That you saved me from the madness, baby
All I'm crying now are tears of joy

Thank you for that burning sun that's rising
Golden in the air that smells so sweet
Thank you for that empty far horizon
That opens to a new eternity

[Instrumental interlude]

Thank you for a life that I'd call happy
Overlooking all that we've been through
When it comes to loving I've been lucky
Everything I am I owe to you

    Listened to and been inspired by KK music since I was a teenager. I am now 63 and still listen to and love the same songs I did 40+ years ago.

  2. R.... ....

    Kris is an amazing human and AMERICAN: Rhodes Scholar, Army Officer/Ranger/Helicopter Pilot, prolific and stunning songwriter, actor, ...

  3. B.... E....

    In his heart he is thanking God - to be sure???

  4. B.... E....

    I get great joy from hearing my children play the very same music I listened to. A testament to the great musicians of old.

  5. S.... C....

    Thank you Kris for sharing your beautiful songs.....I have loved your music since I first heard you sing in 1973! I feel fortunate to have seen you in concert four times over the years. Forever a fan!

  16. K.... 0....

    THANK YOU, Kris, for all of the joy that you have given to so many of us through your beautiful songwriting and singing. It is wonderful to know that you found your soulmate in Lisa, your wife of over 36 years - and that you have had five children together, in addition to helping raise the three children from your prior two marriages. In my opinion, you are the best songwriter who has ever graced our lives.

  17. B.... M....

    I remember reading an article when Kristofferson met his wife and how it was a good time to meet her . She was grounded he was invested in his daughter ‘s well being , he said she was beautiful and was assertive towards him he wasn’t sure , she , his wife now was-in college and they hooked up and she was the best thing for him and he loves babies! Great song , good for him and good for her. 😘😘✌️

    B.... M....

    Babygirl at some point you will find this... Hey precious ♥️... Forgive me for what I did tonight. Believe I am in the most beautiful place. Forgive me for leaving you. Because of you I loved, because of you I fought, because of you I did everything in my power to survive. Because of them I have to say goodbye 💔

    M.... m....

    Me, myself and I are you ok? Your message quite frankly scares me and I cannot just scroll by without checking on you, though you wrote this 3 months ago. I’m hoping that this is a poem or lyrics from a song and I’ll look stupid. Rather that than not check on a pained soul

  23. R.... L....
