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
