Although you see the world 
 Different from me, 
 Sometimes i can touch upon 
 The wonders that you see. 
 All the new colors 
 And 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 directions, 
 You know which way to go 
 And i don't want to hold you back, 
 I just want to watch you grow. 
 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, 
 Child of mine, 
 Child of mine, 
 Oh, yes sweet darling, 
 So glad you are 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 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't always be kind,   
 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.   
 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.
