[Verse 1]
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

[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 direction, 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

[Chorus]
Child of mine, child of mine
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
