[Verse 1]
D 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
[Chorus] Am C D Whoa oh, sweet child o' mine Am C D Whoa, oh, oh, oh sweet love o' mine

[Verse 2] 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
[Chorus] Am C D Whoa oh, oh, sweet child o' mine Am C D Whoa, oh, oh, oh sweet love o' mine

[Verse 3] Consider [Am] this, consider this, The [Em] hint of a century, Consider [Am] this: the slip That [Em] brought me to my knees failed. [Am] What if all these fantasies Come [Em] flailing around? Now I've [Dm] said too [G] much.
[Bridge] I [G] thought that I heard you l [F] aughing, I [Dm] thought that I [G] heard you [Am] sing. [Am/B] ..... [Am/C] ..... [Am/D] .... [Am] I [F] think I thought I [Dm] saw [G] you [Am] try. [G]
