Although Thanksgiving is not actually celebrated officially in Italy by the Italians, They still have a word especially for Thanksgiving Day in the Italian language Giorno di Ringraziamento. We have many American friends both here in Italy and spread all over the world that do celebrate this special day, you know who you are, so I dedicate this song to you all.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
"THANK YOU" LYRICS
Orange and yellow autumn leaves
Falling from the colored trees
Outside of your thanksgiving feast
Family favorites in the air
A time to give, a time to share
The love you have is everywhere
To love, to life, to hope, to dreams
To all whose thankful hearts you bring
CHORUS
Thank You for the air I breathe
Thank You for the love I need
Thank You for the joy inside of me
You give us hope, You plant the seed
You harvest every heart in need
Thank You for the love you've given me
Special people by your side
Open fires and pumpkin pies
The years they catch you by surprise
The seasons joy is at your door
There's so much to be grateful for
So much you have and there is so much more
To faith to friends to joy to cheer
To celebrate another year
REPEAT CHORUS
All the beauty on this planet
Every moment took for granted
Here's the chance to get it right
All the blessings you've been handed
Every memory life makes candid
Here's to living here's to life
REPEAT CHORUS
You hold me up when I can reach
You give me strength when I'm too weak
Thank You for the love you've given me
Thank You
I was delighted when Brianna wrote to tell me she had written a new song, which turned out to be perfect for me to use here. "Thank You" is a new song (2010) written by Singer/Songwriter, Brianna Haynes and Composer/Pianist, Austin Haynes. The song is inspired by Thanksgiving and the wonderful family memories this time of year brings. This Thanksgiving song is both spiritual and emotional and is dedicated to everyone with a thankful heart this holiday season.
More details about Brianna, her music and where to obtain it from can be found on her Official Website, YouTube and Facebook
I first featured Brianna on News From Italy on Fathers Day with her beautiful song Through the Eyes of My Father particularly poignant to me as I dedicated that post to my beloved Dad whom I still miss terribly, even more so at this time of the year. 9 Aug 1924 - 3 Dec 2006.
So thankyou Brianna for making it possible for me to feature your music again today.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE

Thanks for sharing the article. I was really wondering and i get here and get amazed by the article. Hope that we will get more ahead.
ReplyDeleteDiane - Thanks, you will have to try to find a way of improving your internet access in France so you can continue to enjoy! We do not have an ASDL landline here too rural but we have a satellite wireless connection thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteRambling Tart - It is a pleasure, glad you enjoyed it.
Angela - Still hoping you may change your mind.
Karen - Thanks for calling by to catch up on news.
