Story Behind The Song
At the high school where I taught, we were asked to "adopt" a student each year and sort of monitor them. This song was originally entitled "Adopted", but since it can apply to any child, (or animal!), I thought this was a better name for it.

Lyrics
IF I COULD CHOOSE A KID
If I could choose a kid, I'd choose you.
Only one like you will do.
I see your hair, your eyes, your nose,
Your lips, your chin.
I see the lovely person that
You hide within.
If I could choose a kid, I'd choose you.
If I could, I would choose another.
Then you'd have a sister or a brother.
We would be just like a family,
If I could choose a kid, I'd choose you.
If I could choose a kid, I'd choose you.
Only one like you will do.
I see your hair, your eyes, your nose,
Your lips, your chin.
I see the lovely person that
You hide within.
If I could choose a kid, I'd choose you.
If I could choose a kid,
I'd choose you.
