Although you see
the world different than me
Sometimes I can touch upon
the wonders that you see
And all the new colors,
the 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 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 darling,
so glad you are a child of mine
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
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 always be kind
Oh yes, 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
You
