Child of Mine Songtext
von Emmylou Harris

Although you see the world
Different than me
Sometimes I can touch upon
The wonders that you see
And 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 direction
You know which way to go
And I don′t wanna hold you back
I just wanna watch you grow
And 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 who'll make it hard for a while
But you′ll turn their heads when they see you smile

The times you were born
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
