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 to 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
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
