這首歌曲，據說是主唱Axl Rose寫給女友Erin Everly(老歌手 Don Everly的女兒)，
但兩人卻不如歌詞般甜蜜，婚姻只維持了不到一個月就宣告結束。

這首歌在80年代幾乎撼動了整個搖滾樂壇，甚至到了現在，只要前奏一響起，就知道是什麼歌！

歌詞
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 and announce 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 o'mine

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