Guns N’ Roses - Sweet Child O’ Mine (lyrics)

Guns N’ Roses - Sweet Child O’ Mine

lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky (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

[Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine
Woah, oh-oh-oh! Sweet love of mine

[Post-Chorus Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine
Ooh, oh-oh-oh! Sweet love of mine

[Post-Chorus Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Oh yeah! Woah-oh-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine
Ooh-oh, oh, oh! Sweet love of mine
Woah, oh-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine, ooh yeah
Ooh! Sweet love of mine

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Ooh, where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go now?
Where do we go? (Sweet child...)
Ooh, where do we go now?
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Where do we go now? Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, wow
Where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Ooh, where do we go now?
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Sweet child, sweet child o' mine

My dad used to listen to this song full blast in the garage with the door open singing his heart out when I was a baby. It still brings tears to my eyes because I was his "sweet child" up until the day he died at the end of 2020. R.I.P daddy ❤

[ksanborkharkongor]

This is a timeless classic. Crazy how people have only heard of this song from Love and Thunder.

[carlomiller]

Slash's lead guitar solo in this beautiful song is absolutely phenomenal. An inspired piece of guitar work.

[afox]

0:59 The lead guitar coming back in to accompany the vocals while replaying the main riff will always be one of the best choruses in rock history

Am gonna be 56 this year and still love listening to this song. 1st time listening to it back in 1988. My late hubby favourite song too.

[BlackRaven]

This song is written from the purest, most genuine place that every parent can relate to. I am the Father of a three year old and stepfather to a 12 year old and this song encapsulates all my fears and hopes as a parent, and like the song says, makes me reflect on my own childhood. It's about being a new parent and being terrified of screwing up, terrfied of traumatizing one's children or not giving them what they need, while also having the hope that all their dreams will come true. When I look at my children I could break down and cry like the song says because the fear and hopes are that strong and tenuous.

My sweet child passed away 18 years ago. He was only 4. He will forever be my sweet child.

[jermeinejorgeq.maximo]

This is my papa's favorite song. He passed away last June. Everytime i hear this song it remembers me how happy we were. Rest in Paradise, Papa ❤

[strwbyshortcake]

[michaelflatt]

[DaveNanan]

It's nice when movies like Thor use classics like this, so younger generations can hear what great music sounds like! Rock on Guns n Roses! 🌷🌷🌹🌹

[swaggydoo]

As a grown man now. I think of my son when I hear this song and it makes me super emotional. I love my Jonah

[nerdmasteessentials]

This is my Father and Daughter dance at my wedding. Love you Dad! Thank you for raising me right. Big hair bands for life! Walking down the aisle to Firehouse. Blessings to all that still know this is good music right here.

[kellicampbell]

My song for my babygirl... When this came on I'd go find whereever she was in the house and pick her up and dance and sing (badly) along with it. Now that she is a mommy, I've seen her doing the same thing with her lil boy, who is absolutely one of the sweetest babies I've ever loved.
I just honestly get lost in a memory every time I hear this song...💙

[lonely_spartus]

This is a bloody good song, it calms my skin when I listen to it lying down. I'd risk a limb to listen to it forever. Hands off one of my favourite songs. Nobody can face off with this without getting bloodied up

[thatguy]

This song makes me think of my niece. She has eyes blue as the sky and she smiles so much when I start singing it to her. Melts my heart

[shadowmusic]

It’s the instrumental part for me it hits a spot I get teary
It’s a beautiful melody

[LeroyLegacy]

So I had baby boy a few month ago, and when I hear this song, it slaps different...like a whole bunch of emotion just wells up in me, it's like I get it now.
