  • How about that last one?
    No
    Huh?
    It'll-, it'll turn off

    You and your dad are dancing in the kitchen
    Your 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 wanna 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 this 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 wanna miss it
    No, I don't wanna miss it
    And I'm not gonna miss it, child of mine

    Child of mine
    Child of mine
    Child of mine
    Child of mine
