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

Whoa oh, sweet child o' mine

Whoa, oh, oh, oh sweet love o' mine

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