Sweet Child Of Mine
Rockabye Baby! 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 stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Oh, sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I 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
Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine
Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine
Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, 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 now
Where do we go
Sweet child
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
Where do we go now
Sweet child
Sweet child o' mine
The lyrics of Sweet Child of Mine by Rockabye Baby! are nostalgic and reflective. The first two verses of the song describe how the singer sees someone (presumably a lover or close friend) who reminds them of childhood memories. The person’s smile reminds the singer of a time when everything was full of wonder and freshness, while their eyes remind them of the bluest skies. However, despite this idyllic description, the singer also worries about the pain hiding behind the person’s eyes, and the possibility of breaking down if they stare too long.
The chorus repeats the line “oh, sweet child o' mine” four times while adding “oh, sweet love of mine” at the end. The repetition of these phrases underscores the connection the singer feels with this person, and how much they cherish them. The last section of the lyrics asks the question “where do we go now?” repeatedly, almost as a plea for direction or guidance. It’s unclear who this question is directed towards, but it adds to the sense of longing and uncertainty present in the song.
Overall, Sweet Child of Mine is a song about nostalgia and loving someone deeply. It celebrates the feelings of wonder and warmth that arise when we think about our childhoods, while also grappling with the pain and uncertainty that love can bring.
