verse 1 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 stay here too long I'd probably break down and cry O-oh sweet child o' mine O-oh-oh-oh sweet love of mine LINK verse 2 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 lie And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by O-oh sweet child o' mine O-oh-oh-oh sweet love of mine Instrumental O-oh sweet child o' mine O-oh-oh-oh sweet love of mine O-oh sweet child o' mine O-oh-oh-oh sweet love of mine
