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 Whoa-whoa-oh Sweet child o' mine Whoa-oh-oh-oh Sweet love of mine ♪ Sweet child of mine ♪ She's got eyes of the bluest skies And 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 Whoa-whoa-oh Sweet child o' mine Whoa, whoa-oh-oh-oh Sweet love of mine ♪ Sweet child of mine
