Sweet Child Of Mine
I sang to you a lullaby
As I rocked you slow in the chair
Held so tight in mothers' arms
Though my child you were not there
Visions danced within my head
As I touched your ivory skin
Looking soft into innocent eyes
Seeing the love there deep within
Tiny fingers did reach for me
So I took your hand in mine
Tickling toes to hear your voice
Sounds of heavens bells to chime
I drifted off to sleep content
To dreams of the coming day
When I could hold you in my arms
And hum to you in just this way......
I remember like it was yesterday
Though little one, you are now nine
Singing lullabies once more from days ago
As I rock my sweet child of mine

Held so tight in mothers' arms
Though my child you were not there
Visions danced within my head

Looking soft into innocent eyes
Seeing the love there deep within
Tiny fingers did reach for me
So I took your hand in mine
Tickling toes to hear your voice
Sounds of heavens bells to chime
I drifted off to sleep content
To dreams of the coming day
When I could hold you in my arms
And hum to you in just this way......
I remember like it was yesterday
Though little one, you are now nine
Singing lullabies once more from days ago
As I rock my sweet child of mine
