verse

She′s got a smile that, it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh
As the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

chorus

Whoa, oh-oh
Sweet child o′ mine
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Sweet love of mine

verse

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm, safe place
Where as a child I′d hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain
To quietly pass me by

chorus

Whoa, oh-oh
Sweet child of mine
Whoa-whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh
Sweet love of mine
Whoa, oh-oh-oh yeah
Whoa, oh-oh-oh, sweet child of mine
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, sweet love of mine
Whoa, oh-oh-oh, sweet child of mine
Ooh, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, sweet love of mine

Where do we go? Where do we go now?

Mm-huh, where do we go now?
