Child of Mine - Video
PUBLISHED:  Aug 15, 2012
DESCRIPTION:
This song is for all of us who have witnessed the transformation of our dear sweet children into teenage monsters...... We can't believe what's happening, we can't wait for them to leave..... until they do. Then the tears come - tears of grief and not tears of rage. How can we tell them we love them? This song might help.

Lyrics........
When you were born you gave me such pleasure
The love that I felt was way beyond measure.
But now you're a teen, I watch you with horror
Your moods change so fast - from joy into to sorrow

Your room is off limits, the stench fills my landing
How you live like you do passes all understanding.
The bathroom is messy, the towels are all dripping
The floor is so wet there is danger of slipping.

Child of mine -- what have I done to deserve this?
Child of mine -- what can I do to reverse this?

I ask you to help me, you say you're too busy
You mumble "whatever" - it's driving me crazy
I get so much food in, the cupboard is groaning
"There's nothing to eat here" is your constant moaning.

Your music's so noisy, you couldn't be ruder
You bring all your friends in -- I feel an intruder.
I can't help but smile at the thought of you leaving
But as you start your packing, I start my grieving.

Child of mine, what have I done to deserve this?
Child of mine, what can I do to reverse this?

I forget all the mess, the noise and the screams
It may be that things aren't as bad as they seem
Oh you'd cringe if I told you I wanted to kiss you -
I so want to tell you that I'm gonna miss you.

But I won't say a thing and I'll laugh a bit louder
I need you to know I couldn't be prouder
Of what you're becoming - and this may rise above you
Just remember my dear one, that I'll always love you.
