Child, I didn't know better Child, child Child, I didn't know it was you Child, child Child, I read your love letter Child, child Child, I didn't know it was true Chi-i-i-i-ild Chi-i-i-i-ild Child, I hear you speak to me Child, child Child, you whisper words at my shoulder Child, child Somehow they're out of reach to me Child, child Somehow you wouldn't wait till i'm older Chi-i-i-i-ild Chi-i-i-i-ild Cause when I'm older I'll learn to be wild And when I'm older I'll learn to be strong And I will learn to love like a child The way that you have loved all along Lo-oong Chi-i-i-i-ild Chi-i-i-ild Child, is that your face in the mirror Child, child Child, is that your voice in the wind Child, child Child, I didn't know better Child, child Child, I didn't know you then But when I'm older I'll learn to be wild And when I'm older I'll learn to be strong And I will learn to love like a child The way that you have loved all along Lo-oong, chi-i-i-i-ild
