i can’t fight your dragons anymore
they no longer live behind your closet door
my magic’s lost its power to ease your mind
but if i could i’d slay them child of mine

what i wouldn’t give for just one day
when holding you was all it took to wipe those tears away
remember all the days we’ve left behind
( From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/g/gretchen-peters-lyrics/child-of-mine-lyrics.html )
and hold them in your heart, sweet child of mine

it fills me like a river fills the sea
holds me in its sway and sets me free
it reaches far beyond all tide and time
this love i have for you sweet child of mine
this love i have for you sweet child of mine
