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
