C @2010 RoyCooper and Roger Sosnowski
Verse 1
When the stroke first hit me
I collapsed on to the floor
It was the day that changed my life
From the way it was before
So many thing became a task
Getting dressed or tying a shoe
Speaking some real simple words
Saying, darling I love you
Verse 2
But, I could hear you praying
As you stayed by my side
Saying honey don't worry
With God we'll survive
You said, just believe in me
Cause I won't let you down
Together we'll move forwards
Get your feet back on the ground
Chorus
My lifestyle has changed, in so many ways
There are still many things, I just can't do
But I thank the Lord for each new day
Mostly, I thank the Lord for you
Verse 3
Thinking back to those two weeks
I remember that first sign
Felt some feeling coming back
As the deep fog left my mind
Sure my words were really slow
But my speech was getting clear
And every time I'd wake from sleep
I'd always find you near
Chorus
My lifestyle has changed, in so many ways
There are still many things, I just can't do
But I thank the Lord for each new day
Mostly, I thank the Lord for you
Bridge
Now I welcome each new day and the challenges I face
Learning to do things differently, at a slower pace
Things I took for granted now have meaning in my life
I have more time to spend with you my loving wife
Chorus
My lifestyle has changed, in so many ways
There are still many things, I just can't do
But I thank the Lord for each new day
Mostly, I thank the Lord for you
Outro
Mostly, I thank the Lord for you
