Child of Mine
Love's Resilience: Fleetwood Mac's Emotional Journey Through Generations
Lyrics
Little child of mine
Expressing affection towards the child.
You'll be lovin' like your little mother did
Comparing the child's future love to that of their mother.
Heard it somewhere before
Recalling a familiar sentiment.
I won't leave you, no, not like my father did
Commitment to stay with the child, contrasting with the speaker's father's departure.
Heavy country blues keep a rockin'
Describing a persistent and rhythmic blues influence on the soul.
K-k-k-keep that soul beat a-sockin'
-Heavy country blues keep a rockin'
-K-k-k-keep that soul beat a-sockin'
-I miss you again
Expressing the speaker's emotional struggle, allowing sunlight but resisting tears.
I let the sunlight through my eyes
-I won't cry
-I miss you again
-I let the sunlight through my eyes
-I won't cry
-Little child of mine
Repeating affectionate sentiments toward the child.
You'll be lovin' like your little mother did
Reiterating the expectation that the child will love similarly to their mother.
Heard it somewhere before
Recalling a familiar sentiment.
I won't leave you, no, not like my father did
Reaffirming the commitment to not abandon the child like the speaker's father did.
Heavy country blues keep a rockin'
Reiteration of the persistent blues influence on the soul.
K-k-k-keep that soul beat a-sockin'
-Heavy country blues keep a rockin'
-K-k-k-keep that soul beat a-sockin'
-I miss you again
Continued expression of emotional pain, allowing sunlight but resisting tears.
I let the sunlight through my eyes
-I won't cry
-I miss you again
-I let the sunlight through my eyes
-I won't cry
-I miss you again
Further repetition of the emotional struggle, maintaining resilience against crying.
I let the sunlight through my eyes
-I won't cry
