If it weren’t for kids have you ever thought

     D                            A
There wouldn’t be any Santa Clause

    G                               A
Look what the stork just brought

                      D
Thank God for kids

  D                       G
We’d all live in a quiet house

      D                            A
Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse

  G                     A
Kool aid on the couch

                       D

Thank God for kids

             A                D
There’s magic for a while

       G                     A              D
A special kind of sunshine in a smile

     G                      A            Bb
Do you ever stop to think, or wonder why

      G                       Em            A
The nearest thing to heaven is a child.

(SPOKEN) And come Christmas morning

   D                      G
Daddy, how does this thing fly,

     D                     A
A hundred other where’s and why’s

    G                               A
I really don’t know, but I’ll try


                       D
Thank God for kids

  D                                  G
When I look down in those trusting eyes

         D                       A
That look at me and I realize

            G                     A
There’s love that I can’t buy

                       D

When you get down on your knees tonight

         D                             A
And thank the Lord for his guiding light

Pray they turn out right
