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
[D] 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
[A7] 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.
