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 stared too long I'd probably break down and cry

Whoa-oh-oh sweet child o' mine

Whoa, 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

Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine

Ooh, oh-oh-oh! Sweet love of mine

Whoa, oh-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine, ooh yeah

Ooh-oh, oh, oh! Sweet love of mine

Oh yeah! Whoa-oh-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine

Ooh-oh, oh, oh! Sweet love of mine

Whoa, oh-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine, ooh yeah

Ooh! Sweet love of mine
