[Instrumental Intro/Guitar Riff] [Verse 1] She's got a smile that it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky (Sky) Now and then when I see her face She takes me away to that special place And if I stared too long I'd probably break down and cry [Chorus] Woah-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine Woah, oh-oh-oh! Sweet love of mine [Post-Chorus Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] She's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain I hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain Her hair reminds me of a warm, safe place Where as a child I'd hide And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by [Chorus] Woah-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine Ooh, oh-oh-oh! Sweet love of mine [Post-Chorus Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Oh yeah! Woah-oh-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine Ooh-oh, oh, oh! Sweet love of mine Woah, oh-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine, ooh yeah Ooh! Sweet love of mine [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Where do we go? Where do we go now? Where do we go? Ooh, where do we go? Where do we go now? Oh, where do we go now? Where do we go? (Sweet child...) Ooh, where do we go now? Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay Where do we go now? Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, wow Where do we go? Oh, where do we go now? Oh, where do we go? Where do we go now? Where do we go? Ooh, where do we go now? Now, now, now, now, now, now, now Sweet child, sweet child o' mine
