Sweet Child

Oh, sweet child
We’d better take care of you
Oh, sweet child
'Cause you, you, you are the future
I see tears where there should be joy
For every little girl and every little boy
A desert that needs some rain
To help you out and ease your pain
Sweet child
Sweet child of mine
Oh, sweet child
Never, never, never be blue
Oh, sweet child
You, you, you are our future
We know that you are
And I'm hoping that you will go far
And whatever you need
I'll try to be with you
'Cause you, you, you are the future
Yeah, yeah, all right
Sweet child, yeah, yeah!
Oh, sweet child
I'm gonna take care of you
Oh, sweet child
We’d better do nurture for you, you, you, yeah
Alright, I can feel it baby
You’re my sweet child of mine
And I love you
Always I will love you
Sweet child of mine
Sweet child of mine, alright, alright baby
