Child of Mine

There is something I have to tell you,
But of course, you already know,
But I’d like to say it anyway.
I must tell you before I go.

There were times you made me happy
And times you made me sad.
But all in all we both can say
Things weren’t all that bad.

We had our share of hard times
But our love helped see us through
Our memories are a little different
Yours for you and mine for me too.

But what I want to tell you
Is you turned out mighty fine
And I am very proud to say
There is no one like…..this child of mine
