[Verse 1]

She's got a sm

ile that it se

ems to me

Reminds me of 

childhood memo

ries
             
Where everythi

              
ng was as fres

              
h as a bright 

       
blue sky

Now and then w

hen I see her 

face
    
She takes me a

way to that sp

ecial place
             
And if I stay 

              
too long I'd p

              
robably break 

          
down and cry

[Chorus]
            
Oooooh, sweet 

          
child of mine
            
Oooooh, sweet 

         
love of mine

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

She's got eyes

 of the bluest

 sky

And if they th

ought of rain
             
I'd hate to lo

              
ok into those 

          
eyes and see a

n ounce of pai

n

Her hair remin

ds me of a war

m safe place
      
Where as a chi

ld I'd hide
             
And pray for t

              
he thunder and

              
 the rain to q

  
uietly pass me

 by

[Chorus]
            
Oooooh, sweet 

          
child of mine
            
Oooooh, sweet 

         
love of mine

[Instrumental]
|    |    |    |    |    |    |    |    |
|    |    |    |    |    |    |    |    |

[Chorus]
            
Oooooh, sweet 

          
child of mine
            
Oooooh, sweet 

         
love of mine

            
Oooooh, sweet 

          
child of mine,

 ooh yeah
            
Oooooh, sweet 

         
love of mine

[Outro]

Where do we go

Where do we go

 now?

Where do we go

?
              
Sweet child o'

  
 mine
