I Appreciate You

Ricki-Lee

Compositor: Ricki-Lee Coulter / Vince Pizzinga

I remember drawing circles on the sand down by the water
Young and amazing by the crashing waves
I used to sit alone and wonder, why i wasn't like the others
laughing and playing with thier mothers

But now i know she made a sacrifice
So i could have the finest things in life

I'll spend a lifetime just to show you
How i appreciate you, you taught me how to be myself
I'll walk a million miles, and i'll fall a thousand times
But you taught me how to be myself

I remember lying in the dark and feeling sad coz it was so hard
Tears running down my face
And everytime i heard a car go past
I would run up and look through the glass
hoping i'd see your face

But now i know she made a sacrifice
So i could have the finest things in life

I'll spend a lifetime just to show you
How i appreciate you, you taught me how to be myself
I'll walk a million miles, and i'll fall a thousand times
But you taught me how to be myself

You taught me how to be indepentent
And you taught me how to stand strong
And i'm the person that i am today
Coz what i went through in those days
She made a sacrifice, to give me the finest things in life
