Child of Mine

You and your dad are dancing in the kitchen

Life is slowing down, but it's still bitchin'

Got myself a rod, but I could break it

My back is still as strong as I can make it

Plus you're mine

So who would rush right through it, child of mine?

Child of mine

Child of mine

Everything you want is in your reach right now

And anything that's not I have to teach somehow

Everything about you is intuitive

So those who miss the point might rush right through it

'Cause it's fine

But I don't want to miss it, child of mine

Child of mine

Child of mine

Last night in your sleep you started crying

I can't protect you there, though I keep trying

Sometimes you'll go places I can't get to

But I've spoken to the angels who protect you

Because you're mine, they cast their golden light across this child

Child of mine

Child of mine

Child of mine

Child of mine

Child of mine

Long nights, fast years

So they say

Time won't ever feel the same

And I don't want to miss it

No, I don't want to miss it

And I'm not gonna miss it, child of mine

Child of mine

Child of mine

Child of mine

Child of mine

Child of mine
