Lyrics

Family

Darling, I thank God for you and me

We're a family

Darling, I thank God for you and me

We're a family

Every since the day we met

I knew that we had a special thing

Wouldn't want to take a chance

On anyone but you for me

Can't you see

Darling, I thank God for you and me

We're a family

Darling, I thank God for you and me

We're a family

It isn't just the way you look

But all the things you do for me

Baby I could write a book

Tell of all the love you bring

Bring to me

Darling, I thank God we're a family

Darling, I thank God for you and me

Oh, we're a family

Wouldn't want to leave your side

There is where I want to be

Never, ever be denied

Of any kind of love from me

Darling, I thank God for you and me

We're a family

Darling, I thank God for you and me

We're a family

Darling, I thank God for you and me

We're a family

Darling, I thank God for you and me

We're a family

Darling, I thank...thank
