    [Verse1:]
    I've had some good days
    I've had some hills to climb
    I've had some weary days
    And some sleepless nights
    But when I look around
    And I think things over
    All of my good days
    Out-weigh my bad days
    I won't complain
    [Verse2:]
    Sometimes the clouds are low
    I can hardly see the road
    I ask a question, Lord
    Lord, why so much pain?
    But he knows what's best for me
    Although my weary eyes
    They can't see
    So I'll just say thank you Lord
    I won't complain
    [Chorus:]
    The Lord Has been so good to me
    He's been good to me
    More than this old world or you could ever be
    He's been so good, To me
    He dried all of my tears away
    Turned my midnights into day
    So I'll just say thank you Lord
    [Adlib:]
    I've been lied on
    But thank you Lord
    I've been talked about
    But thank you Lord
    I've been misunderstood
    But thank you Lord
    You might be sick
    Body reeking with pain
    But thank you Lord
    The bills are due
    Don't know where the money coming from
    But thank you Lord
    Thank you Lord
    Thank you Lord
    [Chorus:]
    I want to thank God
    Has been so good to me
    He's been good to me
    More than this old world or you could ever be
    He's been so good
    He's been so good
    He's been so good
    So good
    So good
    So good
    So good
    To me
    He dried all of my tears away
    Turned my midnight into day
    [Ending:]
    So I'll just say thank you Lord,
    I won't complain

      Darnell Bennett Actually, I was thinking an album dedicated to women torch singers. The melody of that song reminded me of the old standard, “I Wish You Love.” Cynthia, if you’re interested in recording an album of torch songs in honor of the women who originally recorded them, I compiled a whole list. You can DM me through Twitter.
