She′s got a smile that it seems to me

Reminds me of childhood memories

Where everything was as freshAs 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
