In an interview with People magazine, George Michael stated that “Jesus To A Child” was one of the two songs he was most proud of as a solo artist, the other one being “You Have Been Loved”. He said he “went through an awful lot of emotional pain to write them.”
[Verse 1]
Kindness in your eyes
I guess you heard me cry
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
I'm blessed
I know Heaven sent and Heaven stole
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned from all this pain
I thought I never feel the same about anyone
Or anything again
But now I know
[Chorus]
When you find a love
When you know that it exists
Then the lover that you miss
Will come to you on those cold, cold nights
When you've been loved
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight
[Verse 2]
Sadness in my eyes
No one guessed and no one tried
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
Loveless and cold
With your last breath, you saved my soul
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned from all these tears?
I've waited for you all those years
Then just when it began
He took your love away
But I still say
[Chorus]
When you find a love
When you know that it exists
Then the lover that you miss
Will come to you on those cold, cold nights
When you've been loved
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight
[Verse 3]
So the words you could not say
I'll sing them for you
And the love we would have made
I'll make it for two
For every single memory
Has become a part of me
You will always be
My love
Well, I've been loved so I know just what love is
And the lover that I kissed
Is always by my side
Oh, the lover I still miss
