sweet child o mine
Bossa and Roses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long, I'd probably break down and cry
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by
Whoa, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Whoa whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh
Sweet love of mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, sweet love of mine
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Ooh, oh, where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go now?
Where do we go? (Sweet child)
Where do we go now?
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Where do we go now?
Ah, ah
Where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Sweet child
Sweet child of mine
The song "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses, as performed by Bossa and Roses, paints a vivid image of a woman who takes the singer back to their childhood. Her smile brings up memories of the singer's childhood, a time when everything was fresh and new, and the sky was clear and blue. Seeing her face brings the singer back to a special place. However, he must be cautious not to look too long, or he might break down crying. The woman's eyes are like blue skies, but the singer fears seeing any pain within them. Her hair reminds him of a safe childhood hideaway, where he would pray for the rain and thunder to pass by.
The chorus repeats, "Sweet child o' mine, sweet love of mine," as if the singer is singing to the woman herself or is referring to her as his "sweet child" and "sweet love." The bridge of the song is a plea to move forward, asking, "Where do we go now?" and repeating the line over and over again. It's an open-ended question with no answer, much like the nature of love itself.

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Her smile is so captivating that it overwhelms me
Reminds me of childhood memories
It takes me back to the times when I was young and carefree
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
When life was simple and unspoiled, like a clear sky
Now and then when I see her face
Sometimes when I catch a glimpse of her face
She takes me away to that special place
She transports me to a magical realm, like the one I experienced as a child
And if I stare too long, I'd probably break down and cry
I am so overcome with emotion that I might cry if I keep looking at her
Whoa, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
She is so precious to me, like a child of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
Her eyes are the color of a clear blue sky, and seem to anticipate the rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
It would crush me if I ever saw sadness in her eyes
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
Her hair is so comforting and familiar, like a place where I would hide when I was young
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by
A moment of solace from the storms of life, hoping that the thunder and rain would pass gently
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Again, she is so precious to me, like a child of mine
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh
Sweet love of mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Her love is so pure and beautiful, like that of a child, and she is as precious as a child of mine
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Ooh, oh, where do we go?
What is the next step in our journey?
Where do we go now?
What is the direction we should take?
Where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?
Where do we turn when we feel lost?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Sweet child
As the questions continue to swirl, she remains precious to me like a child
Sweet child of mine
A final declaration of her immense value to me

I'm glad they at least covered I Used To Love Her, but really One In A Million would have best sold the gag of soft voiced South American chicks covering Axl
