Daniel, if by any chance you're checking this thread after such a long time, here are the lyrics to the song. I might have made some mistakes while transcribing them. I recorded it some time ago straight from the TV, using a voice recorder, so the quality of the recording is rather poor. Anyway, this is what I got from it. Hope somebody'll correct me.


THANKSGIVING PRAYER
As performed by Johnny Cash on the TV series, "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman", Season 3, Episode 4, "Thanksgiving", 1994.

We've come to the time in the season
When family and friends gather near
To offer a prayer of thanksgiving
For blessings we've known through the year,
To join hands and thank the Creator
Now when thanksgivin' is due,
And this year when I count my blessin's,
I'm thankin' the Lord He made you.
This year when I count my blessin's,
I'm thankin' the Lord He made you.

I'm grateful for the laughter of children,
The sun and the wind and the rain,
The color of blue in your sweet eyes,
The sight of a highballin' train,
The moonrise over a prairie,
And old love that you've made new,
And this year when I count my blessin's,
I'm thankin' the Lord He made you.
This year when I count my blessin's,
I'm thankin' the Lord He made you.

And when the time comes to be goin',
It won't be in sorrow and tears.
I'll kiss you goodbye and I'll go on the way,
Grateful for all of the years.
I thank you for all that you gave me,
For teachin' me what love can do,
And Thanksgivin' Day for the rest of my life,
I'm thankin' the Lord He made you.
Thanksgivin' Day for the rest of my life,
I'm thankin' the Lord He made you.
