Child of Mine

You and your dad are dancing in the kitchen Life is slowing down, but it's still bitchin' I 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'll 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
