01 Aug 99 - 04:49 AM (#101249) Subject: Lyr Add: CHILD OF MINE (Bill Staines) From: Joe Offer This one makes me think of my daughter. -Joe Offer (sorry, can't help with chords)- CHILD OF MINE (Bill Staines) ©1992, Mineral River Music/BMI Child of Mine, you are the wildest wind And the dearest dream I will ever know. Love's lasting light shines out from deep within This father's heart as I watch you grow. Child of Mine, you are the break of dawn And the brightest star I will ever know. Love's lasting light comes shining on and on From this mother's heart as I watch you grow. There is a road, and that road is all your own, But we are here, you need not walk alone. To face, not fear each coming new unknown Is the way to lift your wings. Child of Mine, you are the sweetest song And the greatest gift I will ever know. Child of Mine, where spirits fly above There is but one that belongs to you. So let it grow and it will thrive on love For it is love that sees us through. You have the hands that will open up the doors You have the hopes that this world is waiting for, You are my own, but you are so much more, You are tomorrow on the wing, Child of Mine. (repeat last verse) JRO It's on Bill's Going to the West album on the Red House label. It's a good album - but all of his albums are good. |

02 Aug 99 - 01:26 PM (#101596) Subject: RE: Child of Mine From: Lew Abramson The great thing about folk people is that we as a group, grumpy though some of may be, are a giving and shring subculture that I for one hope never disappears. Thanks to all who responded to my request. If any of you are in the North Jersey area come visit me at any of the Hurdy Gurdy Coffee house concerts. I'm large economy size guy with mustache and specs. Lew |
