Child of Mine

[Verse 1]
Although you see the world diff'rent than me
Sometimes I can touch upon the wonders that you see
All the new colors, the pictures you design
Oh yes, sweet darlin', I'm so glad you're a child of mine

[Verse 2]
You don't need direction, you know which way to go
I don't wanna hold you back, I just wanna watch you grow
You're the one who taught me you don't have to look behind
Oh yes, sweet darlin', I'm so glad you're a child of mine

[Chorus]
Child of mine
Child of mine
Oh yes, sweet darlin'
I'm so glad you're a child of mine

[Bridge]
Nobody's gonna kill your dreams or tell you how to live your life
There'll always be people to make it hard for a while
But you'll change their heads when they see your smile

[Verse 3]
The times you were born in may not have been the best
But you'll make the times to come better than the rest
I know you'll be honest if you can't always be kind
Oh yes, darlin' I'm glad you're a child of mine

[Chorus]
Child of mine
Sweet, sweet child of mine
Oh, oh, darlin'
I'm so glad you're a child of mine

[Bridge]
Little boy, little girl, you're livin' in
Oh, it's such a diff'rent world, I just wanna watch you grow
Don't want to hold you back, sweet baby, don't you know?

[Outro]
I love you
I love you
I love you
Oh, sweet child of mine
I'm so glad you belong to me
You're a part of me
Sweet child of mine
