D (2)
She's got a smile that it seems to me
C (2)
Reminds me of childhood memories
G (2)
D (2)
Where everything was as fresh as a bright blue sky
D (2)
Now and then when I see her face
C (2)
She takes me away to that special place
G (2) D (2)
And if I stared to long, I'd probably break down and cry
Chorus:
A C D (2)
Whoa-oh, Sweet child of mine
A C D (2)
Whoa, Oh, Oh, Oh Sweet love of mine

D (2)
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
C (2)
As if they thought of rain
G (2) D (2)
I hate to look into those and see an ounce of pain
D (2)
Her hair reminds me of a warm, safe place
C (2)
Where as a child I'd hide
G (2) D (2)
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by
