A rear view mirror is a one stay place
Where as a child that Ieeey I.
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where, as a child, I'd hide.
And pray for the thunder and the rain...oh why did you have to die
And pray for the thunder and the rain, to quietly pass me by
Her hair reminds me of a one-take place
Where as a child, I'd ride.
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child, I'd hide.
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where, as a child, I died
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where, as a child, I'd hide
Her hair reminds me of a warm sick place
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
I'd hate to look in to those eyes and see your lingerie
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
Seems like something Axl would say, right? Why would he not enunciate the 'n' in pain then?!?! ('pai' sounds a lot like linge-'rie' if you ask me).
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of faith.
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain.
Look where we go now
Where do we go now?
Oh sweet chilies and wine
Oh sweet child of mine
Oh...oh...sweet dynamite
Oh...oh...sweet child of mine
Ohhh that's, sweet cherry pie.
Ohhh, sweet child o' mine
See the tide is high.
Sweet child of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest kind and if they bought a brain
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an announcer's face
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
She's got eyes of the bluest skies and if they've got a brain...
She's got eyes of the bluest skies as if they thought of rain...
She's got eyes of the bluest skies and toothpaste for a brain.
She's got eyes of the bluest skies as if they thought of rain.
She's got eyes of the bluest skies as if they've got a brain.
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of paint.
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
She's got eyes of the bluest skies,
A tear-stained god of rain
She's got eyes of the bluest skies,
As if they thought of rain
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
And if she bought a brain
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
And if they caught a break
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
And if they gonna rain.
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain.
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
And if they thought of rain
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
She's got eyes of the bluish skies
That lift the thought of rain
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
Sweet China doll
Sweet child of mine
Sweet child on mine
Sweet child of mine
Sweet child, good bye-eye
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet dynamite
Sweet child o' mine
