Every Day I Thank God For You

The potatoes are thin, the turkey is dry

And I'm not wild about pumpkin pie

The cranberry sauce should have stayed in the can

And half of the stuffing's still stuck to the pan

Your aunt is ashamed that your uncle is drunk

And on the way here they ran over a skunk

And everyone thinks that our neighbor's a bore

But that doesn't change what I'm thankful for

After all is said and done

It's the perfect holiday

All the times we spend together

Blow the others all away

We have suffered so much heartache

But we pulled each other through

Every day I thank God for you

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care

They look a bit tattered and starting to tear

The eggnog is spiked, with what I can't tell

And the potpourri basket's beginning to smell

The ham is cold and the beer is warm

The yule log set off the smoke alarm

The hour is late but nobody will go

'Cause mom is perched under the mistletoe

All the Halloween parties

With coke and Bacardi

Barbeques on the 4th of July

Oh I hate entertaining

But I'm not complaining

And you are the reason why
