Lyrics
Written by Marty Stuart and Gary Nicholson
I searched for love my whole life through
Then it came like a blinding flash from the blue
Thanks to you
Empty nights and long lost days
Roving eyes and rambling ways are through
Thanks to you
I knew about lonely
I knew about blue
I know about love now
Thanks to you
My tired and hurtin’ empty heart
That once was broke and torn apart is all new
Thanks to you
I never seemed to have much luck
But all the dreams that I gave up came true
Thanks to you
I knew about lonely
I knew about blue
I know about love now
Thanks to you
So we’ll go on and dream
And watch them come true
Forever and ever
Thanks to you
Forever and ever
