Nothing But Thanks

about

With the light guitar carousel type theme circling in lovely finger style acoustic, this character study is whimsical and wonderful.

"Imagine, if you will, the music video I want to make about this song: Business woman, always walks home through the park. Always does not see the same homeless man, until one day the heel of her shoe breaks off and she has to sit next to him on the bench. He appears to magically fix it, enough for her to make it home, by wrapping it up tightly in a paper bag. He asks nothing in return. He tells her that "Thanks" is his name. Perplexed, she makes it home, unwraps the shoe to find it a beautiful glass slipper. She goes back to the park. He is gone...There is more but you'll just have to wait for the video!" Smiles, Colette"

lyrics

I once met a man, his name was "Thanks".
He lived in the park.
I asked him one day, don't you get cold?
No, I'm alive on the ride, he said, and I don't need somewhere to hide.

Should I go 'round again? That day in the park is stuck in my head.
Won't get me anywhere. Well nothing but thanks is something to share.

I didn't think until later, long after goodbye, he took nothing for granted
and neither should I. Oh la, la,la, la,la, la,la, la, la,la, la,la.

Yes people do exist that trade their names for nothing so true as thanks will do, and now I'm alive, I'm alive on the ride 'cause living is no where to hide.

Want to go 'round again. That day in the park is stuck in my head and life is lived everywhere and nothing but thanks is all that I'm here for.
And I want to go 'round again. That day in the park is stuck in my head and life, life can go any where, and nothing but thanks is something to live for. And thanks for the thought, those something's from nothing because now that I've got nothing but thanks I've learned a la, la,la, la,la, la,la, la, la,la, la,la, I've learned a lot. About thanks.
