Thank You - Led Zeppelin (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

Thank You (Led Zeppelin, 1969). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2025-07-20. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"

"Thank You," written by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, was released on Led Zeppelin II in 1969. "Plant dedicated this to his wife, Maureen. It was the first Zeppelin song that Plant wrote all the lyrics for - something he did at the urging of Jimmy Page. . . . The lyrics, 'If the sun refuse to shine' and 'When mountains crumble to the sea' came from a Jimi Hendrix song called 'If 6 Was 9'" (songfacts, 2025). Plant and Maureen "also had a daughter at that time, so it’s only natural that Plant wanted to reach out through song to his new wife, considering all the time that he was spending away from her and their new family while on the road" (J.Beviglia, americansongwriter, Aug. 25, 2023).

Lyrics:

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

Kind woman, I give you my all
Kind woman, nothing more
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
Inspiration's what you are to me
Inspiration, look 'n' see

And so today, my world, it smiles
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles
Thanks to you, it will be done
For you to me are the only one
Alright, there

Happiness, no more, be sad
Happiness, I'm glad

If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
Mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me
