I Won't Take You for Granted Lyrics

Took the rail ride home and I sat next to a wealthy man,
he'd shown me all the fortunes he made,
in New York, London and Japan,
and when he found out I had studied in theology,
it triggered something deep inside
he opened up his heart to me,
and it made me sad what he'd been through
and it made me glad that I know you
I'm living in the promises you made to me,
you've given me everything, strength to believe,
your mind liberal, you've opened my eyes,
so I won't, no I won't, take you for granted
and as we parted I realized that money isn't everything
but this guy had a lot of it
still it was obvious there was something missing
it helped me to figure out that being a part of your family

something I've got used to
cause it seems you've always been with me
but I love you more than when we first met
and I wanna be sure that I don't forget
I'm living in the promises you made to me,
you've given me everything, strength to believe,
your mind liberal, you've opened my eyes,
so I won't, no I won't, take you for granted
keep me in this place, where all the air I breath
is flowing straight from heaven, giving life to me
and as I feel your touch, I'm filled with gratitude
I wanna live each day closer to you
and I love you more than when we first met
and I wanna be sure that I don't forget
I'm living in the promises you made to me,
you've given me everything, strength to believe,
your mind liberal, you've opened my eyes,
so I won't, no I won't, no I won't,
no I won't take you for granted
