Liner Notes

Singer and songwriter Bob Dylan on the advice his father gave him: "Even if you don't have all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don't have that you don't want." This year, my daughter became a widow. She is my inspiration for this song, as she navigates the mourning process.#gratitude #acousticonetake

Lyrics

Count Your Blessings
Verse 1
I’ve been walking down this road so long,
With dreams that didn’t come, and hopes that are gone,
But I heard a voice, it was clear and strong,
Saying, “Count your blessings where they belong.”
Chorus
Even if the sky’s not blue,
And the world ain’t what you thought you knew,
Be grateful for the storms you never had to face,
For the empty spaces you don’t need to replace.
Verse 2
I’ve chased the shadows of a distant sun,
Felt the weight of all the things undone,
But in the silence of what never came,
I found peace in the space between the pain.
Chorus
Even if the sky’s not blue,
And the world ain’t what you thought you knew,
Be grateful for the storms you never had to face,
For the empty spaces you don’t need to replac
Bridge
There’s a wisdom in the quiet, a light in the dark,
A freedom in the things that never left a mark,
So I’ll keep on walking, through the unknown,
Grateful for the stones I’ve never thrown.
Outro
Even if the sky’s not blue,
And the world ain’t what you thought you knew,
I’ll be thankful for the tears I never had to cry,
For the dreams that never said goodbye.
