Sweet Child O' Mine Lyrics
[Verse 1: Axl Rose]
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: Axl Rose]
Woah-woah-woah
Sweet child of mine
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Sweet love of mine
[Verse 2: Axl Rose]
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I'd 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: Axl Rose]
Woah-oh-woah
Sweet child of mine
Oh-woah, oh-oh-oh
Sweet love of mine
[Repeat-Chorus: Axl Rose]
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Sweet child of mine, oh, yeah-eh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Sweet love of mine
[Outro: Axl Rose]
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Mm-mm, oh, where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go now?
(Where do we go?)
Where do we go? (Sweet child)
Mm-huh, where do we go now?
Ah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-oh
(Where do we go? Where do we go?)
Oh, where do we go now?
(Where do we go?)
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-oh, wow
Where do we go?
Oh-oh, where do we go now?
(Oh) Where do we go, oh-oh-oh-oh?
(Oh, wow)
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Woah-oh, where do we go now?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Sweet child
Sweet child of mine
