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'd stare too long
Woah, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Woah, 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
Woah, woah
Sweet child o' mine
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine
Woah, yeah
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine
Woah, 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
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Where do we go now
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
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 Jizzy Pearl (Love/Hate) is a classic rock ballad that speaks about memories of childhood and young love. The lyrics begin with the singer admiring a woman's smile, which reminds him of happy childhood memories. He then describes the woman's eyes as being like the bluest skies and how he wouldn't want to see any pain in them. The singer also mentions how her hair reminds him of a warm, safe place where he would hide from thunderstorms during his childhood.
As the chorus repeats, the singer calls out to his lover, referring to her as "sweet child o' mine" and "sweet love of mine." The verses and chorus together create a nostalgic atmosphere that feels both wistful and romantic, as the singer fondly recalls his own childhood and seeks comfort in his partner. At the end of the song, the singer asks the titular question "where do we go now?" repeatedly, expressing uncertainty about the future but indicating that he wants to continue moving forward with his love by his side.

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Her smiling face catches my attention
Reminds me of childhood memories
Her smile reminds me of my happy childhood days
Where everything
During childhood days
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Everything felt new and exciting, like a clear blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
Occasionally when I see her
She takes me away to that special place
Her presence makes me feel like I'm in a special place
And if I stared too long
If I looked at her for too long
I'd probably break down and cry
I might become emotional and cry
Sweet child o' mine
My beloved child
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
Her eyes are as blue as the clear sky
As if they thought of rain
They seem like they're thinking of rainy days
I'd hate to look into those eyes
I would hate to see any pain or sadness in her eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Even a little bit of pain would break my heart
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Her hair resembles a cozy, secure haven
Where as a child I'd hide
A place where I used to hide during my childhood
And pray for the thunder and the rain
I would pray for the storm to go away
To quietly pass me by
Without any harm or disturbance
Where do we go?
Where should we go?
Where do we go now?
Where should we go now?
Where do we go?
Where should we go?
Sweet child o' mine
My beloved child
Where do we go?
Where should we go?
Where do we go now?
Where should we go now?
Where do we go?
Where should we go?
Sweet child o' mine
My beloved child
Where do we go?
Where should we go?
Where do we go now?
Where should we go now?
Where do we go?
Where should we go?
Sweet child o' mine
My beloved child
