Lyrics
If it weren't for kids, have you ever thought
There wouldn't be no Santa Claus?
Or look what the stork just brought
Thank God for kids
And we'd all live in a quiet house
Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse
And Kool Aid on the couch
Thank God for kids
Thank God for kids, there's magic for a while
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
Did you ever stop to think or wonder why
The nearest thing to Heaven is a child?
"Daddy, how does this thing fly?"
And a hundred other wheres and whys
I really don't know, but I try
Thank God for kids
And when I look down in those trusting eyes
That look to me, then I realize
There's love that I can't buy
Thank God for kids
Thank God for kids, there's magic for a while
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
Did you ever stop to think or wonder why
The nearest thing to Heaven is a child?
When you get down on your knees tonight
Thank the Lord for His guiding light
Pray they turn out right
Thank God for kids
Mm, thank God for grandkids, too
