Chapin Sisters - Child lyrics

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
