Thank You For... - Daryl Hall & John Oates, Gene Paul, Arif Mardin

Thank you for walking

Thank you for spending one day

With a stranger

Good morning.

Hello!

Choose a color, carnation

We’ll walk along

Down round the pond, up the hill bricks and steeples

It’s not all gone… I recall

Thank you for walking

Thank you for spending one day

With a stranger

Thank you for talking

And showing the way to a stranger

Wining and dining (what a September)

From bags by the river (I should’ve worn a sweater)

A sun, sail, song (it's cooler up here)

We sat on a wall (oh my)

Rest our feet (just a little longer)

Touch our noses

Then slow poke on… oh, I recall

One red carnation

The color for April

And apples

And wine

I suppose it was white… but I needed the rhyme

As I packed up to leave oh, I noticed the fountain

The statue’s hand

There in her bronzed, moistened, palm

Red carnation

Without you there… I recall
