Thank God For Kids

Recorded by The Oak Ridge Boys

Words and music by Eddy Raven

If it [D] weren't for kids have you [G] ever thought

There wouldn't be no [A7] Santa Claus

Or [G] look what the stork just [A7] brought

THANK GOD FOR [D] KIDS ...[A7]

And [D] we'd all live in a [G] quiet house

With-[D] out Big Bird or [A7] Mickey Mouse

And [G] Kool Aid on the couch

THANK GOD FOR [D] KIDS.

THANK [G] GOD FOR KIDS, there's [A7] magic for a [D] while

A [G] special kind of [A7] sunshine in a [D] smile

Do you [G] ever stop to [A7] think or wonder [Bm] why ...[G]

The nearest [D] thing to [Em] heaven [Em7] is a [Cmaj7] child...[A7]

When you [D] get down on your [G] knees tonight

To [D] thank the Lord for His [A7] guiding light

And [G] pray they turn out [A7] rignt

THANK GOD FOR [D] KIDS.

Daddy, how does this thing fly?

And a hundred other wheres and whys

You really don't know but you try

THANK GOD FOR KIDS.

When you look down in those trusting eyes

That look to you, you realize

There's a love that you can't buy

THANK GOD FOR KIDS.
