[Verse 1]
Although you see the world
Different from me
Sometimes, I can touch upon
The wonders that you see
All the new colors
And pictures you've designed
Oh, yes sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine

[Chorus]
Child of mine
Child of mine
Oh, yes sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine

[Verse 2]
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
[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 you smile

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Child of mine
Child of mine
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
