Thank God for kids

C F

1. If it weren't for kids have you ever thought

C G

there wouldn't be no Santa Claus,

F G C - G

or look what the stork just brought, thank God for kids.

C F

And we'd all live in a quiet house,

C G

without Big Bird or Mickey Mouse

F G C - C7

and Kool Aid on the couch, thank God for kids.

F G C

Thank God for kids, there's magic for a while,

F G C

a special kind of sunshine in a smile.

F G Am - F

Do you ever stop to think or wonder why

Dm C Dm C Bb - G

the nearest thing to heaven is a child.

C F

2. Daddy, how does this thing fly?

C G

and a hundred other wheres and whys,

F G C - G

I really don't know but I try, thank God for kids.

C F

When I look down in those trusting eyes,

C G

that look to me, I realize,

F G C - C7

there's love that I can't buy, thank God for kids. + CHORUS

A - A7 D G

3. When you get down on your knees tonight,

D A

and thank the Lord for His guiding light

G A D

and pray they turn out right, thank God for kids.

G - A D

Mm, thank God for kids. (capo 2nd) (Oak Ridge Boys)
