From afar a mellow breeze carries the scent of the blossom trees So sweet those springtime leaves And I know And I know And I know how far it is to go But I was moved by your gracious glow Oh I just can't thank you enough my friend Although I cannot see, I feel the warmth upon my cheeks And I hear blackbirds guiding me And I know And I know And I know although I walk alone I have your love and I have this song Oh I just can't thank you enough my friend But there were times when I tried to turn around I got lost, thought I never would be found I fell down on my knees, but then I felt your helping hand And now I watch the changing hues Put on my coat and tie my shoes There are no fears there are no blues And I know And I know And I know there's nowhere left to roam And now I'm ready to go home Oh I just can't thank you enough my friend Instrumental part But there were times when I tried to turn around I got lost, thought I never would be found I fell down on my knees, but then I felt your helping hand And now I watch the changing hues Put on my coat and tie my shoes There are no fears there are no blues And I know And I know And I know there's nowhere left to roam And now I'm ready to go home Oh I just can't thank you enough my friend
