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
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
Therе'll always be people to makе 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
Child of mine, child of mine
Oh, yes sweet darling
So glad you are a 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
