Thanks For My Child

By Cheryl "Pepsi" Riley



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.



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



I'll stay and watch you grow, Yes I will!

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

You make life worth singing a song

(echo)You make life worth singing a song'

With you right here with me,

I 'll have the strength to go on.



Thanks for my child

Here we are to today, the years have gone by

Thanks for my child

you grew before my eyes, time after time

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



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 are wrapped in blankets

You are my love child.



Thanks for my child

I 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 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

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

No, no, no, oh yeh

Cause you're my sweet baby

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

He left his beautiful, Cause he left, us 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, (child) I love you too mommy!
