Letra Thanks for my child Shirley Murdock

Thanks for my child

[Verse 1:]
Ooh, Yeah
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
Mm

[Verse 2:]
I'll stay and watch you grow,
I will stay and will watch you grow
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
With you right here with me,
I'll have the strength to go on

[Chorus:]
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

[Verse 3:]
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.

[Bridge:]
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

[Conversation: Shirley Murdock]
I just know, I'll never let you go, no, no
No, no, noooooo ohhhhhh eeey
Cause you're my sweet baby
Poppa can't preach, Papa was a rolling stone because
He left his beautiful, Cause he left his beautiful, Cause he left us all alone
But that's OK cause I'm you mother baby
I carried you for 9 months, And I'm gonna carry you
Until you can carry yourself... On your own
I love you sweetheart

[Coversation: Boy]
I love you too mommy
