Intro

Verse 1

 Although you see the world different than me

 Sometimes I can touch upon the wonders that you see

All the new colors and pictures you design

Oh yes, sweet darlin' so glad you are a child of mine

Chorus

Child of mine, child of mine

Oh yes, sweet darlin' 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

 Cause you're the one who taught me you don't have to look behind

Oh yes, sweet darlin' so glad you are a child of mine

Bridge

Nobody's gonna steal 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

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 darlin' so glad you are a child of mine

Chorus

Child of mine, child of mine

Oh yes, sweet darlin' so glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine, child of mine

Oh yes, sweet darlin' so glad you are a child of mine
