If it weren't for kids have you ever thought

C                    G7
There wouldn't be no Santa Claus

   F                        G7
Or look what the stork just brought

              C
Thank God for kids

And we'd all live in a quiet house

    C               G7
Without Big Bird or Mickey Mouse

    F               G7
And Kool Aid on the couch

              C
Thank God for kids


      F                    G7          C
Thank God for kids there's magic for a while

  F               G7            C
A special kind of sunshine in a smile

       F            G7              Am
Do you ever stop to think or wonder why

Daddy how does this thing fly

C                   G7
And a hundred other where’s and whys

  F                     G7
I really don't know but I try

              C
Thank God for kids


                    F
When I look down in those trusting eyes

C                 G7
That look to me I realize

F                           G7
There's a love that I can't buy

              C
Thank God for kids

When you get down on your knees tonight

   C                      G7
To thank the Lord for His guiding light

    F                  G7
And pray they turn out right

              C
Thank God for kids
