Sweet Child O' Mine

Song Lyric Time! This is for me the greatest guitar song of all time by one of the greatest bands of all time, the incredible Guns 'N' Roses, sadly now split up (well there is a band still calling themselves by that name, but it is really just the lead singer and a whole new bunch of musicians, not the classic line up, half of whom are now part of Velvet Revolver). I can remember my old mate Robert Tutill introducing me to this band by bringing over a taped copy of the Appetite for Destruction LP (he had the banned cover, I was so jealous), and we'd play it as well as a couple of Skid Row's tapes in our garage (our den, it had carpets, cushions, beanbags and a stereo, perfect teenage hangout). I grew up to music like this. As for the modern day, two weeks ago this got played at 80's night, myself and a very cute girl sang the lyrics at the tops of our voices and played air guitar to one another on the dancefloor. I love this song!

Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns 'N' Roses

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
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

Sweet child o' mine
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

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine
