Thank You for Letting Me Be Lyrics

At her birth her parents named her Kitty

Pretty soon she would go by the letter K

Oh her life was sophisticated

Dark romance made to fill her day

Our paths crossed indiscriminately

She was my type implausibly

I now know what then I couldn't see

I was never hers

And one day she left for a bigger play

And I was cast as a love sick castaway

Well, today, I say gratefully

Thank you for letting me be

'Cause in those days I would sit and draw her sketches

That were truly pretty, pretty bad

Oh, the dash, the passion, the fashion of an artiste

Was a cachet I found I never had

Our ways then went separately

I learned to do things to please me

I now know what then I couldn't see

I was never hers

And one day she left for a bigger play

And I was cast as a love sick castaway

Well, today, I say gratefully

Thank you for letting me be

And one day she left for a bigger play

And I was cast as a love sick castaway

Well, today, I say gratefully

Thank you for letting me be

Oh thank you for letting me be

Oh thank you for letting me be

Oh thank you for letting me be

Oh thank you for letting me be

Oh thank you for letting me be
