Child of Mine

                                  Although you see the world

Different from me,

Sometimes I can touch upon

The wonders that you see.

All the new colors

And pictures you've designed.



Oh, yes sweet darling,

So glad you are a child of mine,

Child of mine,

Child of mine,

Oh, yes sweet darling,

So glad you are a child of mine.



You don't need directions,

You know which way to go

And I don't want to hold you back,

I just want to watch you grow.

You're the one who taught me

You don't have to look behind.



Oh, yes sweet darling,

So glad you are a child of mine,

Child of mine,

Child of mine,

Oh, yes sweet darling,

So glad you are a child of mine.



Nobody's gonna kill your dreams

Or tell you how to live your life.

There'll always be people to make it hard for a while

But you'll change their heads when they see you smile.



The times you were born in

May not have been the best,

But you can make the times to come

Better than the rest,

I know you will be honest

If you can't always be kind,



Oh, yes sweet darling,

So glad you are a child of mine,

Child of mine,

Child of mine,

Oh, yes sweet darling,

So glad you are a child of mine.



Oh, yes sweet darling,

So glad you are a child of mine,

Child of mine,

Child of mine,

Oh, yes sweet darling,

So glad you are a child of mine.
