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

Thank You For...

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
