In this fast moving word that we're living when my mind feels heavy from the load
As the problems of life overtake us darling you always lighten the load
Thank you for love that's much greater and much stronger than the problems we know
And thank you for loving your man that walks a hard road
Darling thank you for lightening the load

When my shoulder's bent to hard labor and I've worked till my back is bowed
Then your loving hands reach to hold me darling you always lighten the load
Thank you for love
Darling thank you for lightening the load
