She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
When everything was as bright as the bluest sky
Now and then when I see her face
It takes me away to that special place
If I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Oh ,sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet child o' mine

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
And she's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain

Oh ,sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh ,sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet child o' mine
