William Lee Golden - Thank God for Kids 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 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
Do 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
Do you ever stop to think or wonder why?
The nearest thing to heaven is a child

When you get down on your knees
Tonight to thank the Lord for His guiding light
And pray they'll turn out right
Thank God for kids

Thank God for grandkids too
