She's got a smile that it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky Now and then when I see her face She takes me away to that special place And if I stare too long, I'd probably break down and cry Oh, oh-oh Sweet child o' mine Oh, oh, oh-oh Sweet love of mine ♪ She's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain 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 Oh, oh-oh Sweet child o' mine Oh, oh, oh-oh Sweet love of mine ♪ (Sweet child o' mine) (Sweet love of mine) (Sweet child o' mine) (Sweet child o' mine) (Sweet love of mine)
