Child Of Mine - Jackie DeShannon

Although you see the world

Diff’rent than me

Sometimes I can touch upon

The wonders that you see

All the new colors

The pictures you design

Oh yes, sweet darlin'

I’m so glad you’re a child of mine

You don’t need direction

You know which way to go

I don’t wanna hold you back

I just wanna watch you grow

You’re the one who taught me

You don’t have to look behind

Oh yes, sweet darlin'

I’m so glad you’re a child of mine

Child of mine

Child of mine

Oh yes, sweet darlin'

I’m so glad you’re 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 your smile

The times you were born in

May not have been the best

But you’ll make the times to come

Better than the rest

I know you’ll be honest

If you can’t always be kind

Oh yes, darlin'

I’m glad you’re a child of mine

Child of mine

Sweet, sweet child of mine

Oh, oh, darlin'

I’m so glad you’re a child of mine

Little boy, little girl

You’re livin' in

Oh, it’s such a diff’rent world

I just wanna watch you grow

Don’t want to hold you back

Sweet baby, don’t you know?

I love you

I love you

I love you

Oh, sweet child of mine

I’m so glad you belong to me

You’re a part of me

Sweet child of mine
