Carole King

Child of mine

Although you see the world
Different than me
Sometimes I can touch upon
The wonders that you see.

And all the new colours
And pictures you've designed
Oh yes sweet darlin'
So glad you are a chi-ild of mine
Child of mine, chi-ild of mine
Oh yes sweet darlin'
So glad you are a chi-ild o-of mine.

You don't need directions
You know which way to go
And I don't wanna hold you back
I just wanna watch you grow.

You're the one who taught me-ee
You don't have to loo-ook behind
Oh yes sweet darlin'
So glad you are a child of mine
Child of mine, child of mine
Oh yes sweet darlin'
So glad you are a chi-ild of mine.

Nobody's gonna kill your dreams

Or tell you how to li-ive your life
There'll always be people
To make it hard for a while
But you'll change their head
When they see you-ou smi-i-i-ile.

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 a-always be kind
Oh yes sweet darlin'
So glad you are a child of mine
Child of mine, chi-ild of mine
Oh yes sweet darlin'
So glad you are a child of mine.

Child of mine, chi-ild of mine
Oh yes sweet darlin'
So glad you are a chi-ild of mine
