Beautiful Child

Fleetwood Mac · Selections From The Chain [1997]

Beautiful child

Beautiful child

You are a beautiful child

And I am a fool once more



You fell in love when I was only ten

The years disappeared

Much has gone by since then

I bite my lip, can you send me away

You touch

I have no choice

I have to stay

Ooh, I had to stay

Ooh, I had to stay



Sleepless child

There is so little time

Your eyes say yes

But you don't say yes

I wish that you were mine

I wish that you were mine



You say it will be harder in the morning

I wait for you to say, just go

Your hands, held mine so few hours

And I'm not a child anymore



I'm not a child anymore

I'm tall enough

To reach for the stars

I'm old enough

To love you from afar

Too trusting, yes

But then women usually are



(I'm not a child anymore)

I'm not a child, oh no

(I'm tall enough to reach for the stars)

I will do as I'm told

(I'm old enough to love you from afar)

Even if I never hold you again

(Too trusting yes, but then women usually are)

Hold you again

(Hold you again)



Sleepless child

There is so little time

(I will do as I am told)

Your eyes say yes

But you don't say yes

(Even if I never hold you again)

I wish that you were mine

(Hold you again)

I wish that you were mine

(Even if I never hold you again)

Well I wish you were mine

(Hold you again)
