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 dhe takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long I’d probably break down and cry

Oh, sweet child o’ mine, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine

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
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, sweet child o’ mine, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine

Oh, sweet child o’ mine, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine
Oh, sweet child o’ mine, oh yeah, sweet love of mine

Where do we go, where do we go now, where do we go
Where do we go, where do we go now, where do we go
Where do we go, where do we go now

Sweet child o’ mine, sweet child o’ mine
