Child of mine

Child Of Mine

by Gerry Goffin & Carole King

Although you see the world

different than me,

sometimes I can touch upon

the wonders that you see.

And all the new colors

and pictures you've designed,

oh yes sweet darling

so glad you are a child of mine.

Child of mine, child of mine,

oh yes sweet darling

so glad you are a child of mine.

You don't need directions,

you know which way to go,

and I don't want to hold you back

I just want to watch you grow.

You're the one who taught me

you don't have to look behind.

Oh yes sweet darling,

so glad you are a child of mine.

Child of mine child of mine,

oh yes sweet darling

so glad you are a child of mine.

Nobody's gonna kill your dreams

or tell you how to live your life.

There'll always be people

who make it hard for a while,

but you'll change their heads

when they see you smile.

The times you were born in

may not have been the best,

but you can make the times to come

better than the rest.

I know you will be honest

if you can't always be kind,

oh yes sweet darling,

so glad you are a child of mine.
