"Thank You" is a song written by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page that was released by English rock band Led Zeppelin on their 1969 album Led Zeppelin II. "Thank You" signalled a deeper involvement in songwriting by singer Robert Plant, being the first Led Zeppelin song that he wrote all the lyrics for. According to various Led Zeppelin biographies, this is also the song that made Jimmy Page realise that Plant could now handle writing the majority of the lyrics for the band's songs. Plant wrote the song as a tribute to his then-wife Maureen. The song features some delicate Hammond organ playing by John Paul Jones, which fades into a false ending before concluding with a crescendo roughly ten seconds later. This has created a problem for radio stations wishing to play the track, which must decide whether to accept the dead air or cut it off. Some stations run an edited version with the silence eliminated.[citation needed] For the recording of this track, Page played on a Vox 12-string guitar. It was also one of the few Led Zeppelin songs on which Page sang backing vocals.
Lyrics:
[Chorus] If the sun refused to shine I would still be loving you When mountains crumble to the sea There will still be you and me [Bridge] Kind woman, I give you my all Kind woman, nothing more [Verse 1] Little drops of rain whisper of the pain Tears of loves lost in the days gone by My love is strong With you there is no wrong Together we shall go until we die, my, my, my An inspiration is what you are to me Inspiration - look, see [Instrumental] [Verse 2] And so today, my world, it smiles Your hand in mine, we walk the miles And thanks to you it will be done For you to me are the only one Alright, yeah Happiness, no more be sad Happiness - I'm glad [Chorus] If the sun refused to shine I would still be loving you When mountains crumble to the sea There will still be you and me
