My Special Child Lyrics - Sinead Oconnor

Think about my little girl 

Her yellow skin and her dark curl 

And how her father's heart was frozen 

I spoke to her, and I said: 

"You won't regret the mother you have chosen." 

I lied 

Where's she tonight? 

I left him 

Now we're apart 

And I think about his cruel heart 

And how his lies have left mine broken 

To think that I spoke to him, then I said: 

"She won't regret the father she has chosen." 

I lied 

Where's he tonight? 

You were precious to me 

After all I called you into being 

I wanted you to know that 

Yes, you were precious to me 

And I miss my little boy 

I strayed away 

So far away 

And I need him tonight 

To feel his hands around my face 

His loving eyes 

His happy face 

Would be so right
