Thanks For My Child

Shirley Murdock

Ooohh, Yeaaaa



You came into my life

You just made everything right

And even though my man has left me behind

I don't regret a thing for having you.



Chorus:

Thanks for my child,

I'm really thanking you, the man above

Thanks for my child

You brought me so much joy

This bundle of love

(Thanks for my child)

and though your father, He ran away free.

The love I have for you baby, Is the love I have in me

mmmmmmmmm



Oooooh, ohhhhhh



I'll stay and watch you grow,

(I will stay and will watch you grow - echo)

Yes I will!

I'll raise you by myself, A one woman show

You make life worth singing a song

(You make life worth singing a song - echo)

With you right here with me,

I'll have the strength to go on



Ohhhhh,



(Thanks for my child ) Thanks for my child,

I'm really thanking you, the man above

(Thanks for my child )

You brought me so much joy

This bundle of love

(Thanks for my child)

I'll hold you in my arms, I hold you close to me

rock a bye my baby, I'll rock you to sleep



Whooooaaaaawww,

I understand your language, Your baby talk

You forgot to crawl, Before you walked

There you are just looking so beautiful

And all the while, you're wrapped in blankets

You are my love child.



Thanks for my child

Here we are to today, the years gone on by

(Thanks for my child)

you grew before my eyes, time after time

(Thanks for my child)

And though your daddy, He ran away free

The love I have for you baby

Is the love I have in me

Inside of me

The love I have in me

Ohhhhh

ooooooowwwwwww

I just know, I'll never let you go, no, no

No, no, noooooo ohhhhhh eeey

Cause you're my sweet baby

Papa can't preach, Papa was a rolling stone because

He left his beautiful, Cause he left his beautiful, Cuz he left us all alone
