Sweet Child O' Mine Lyric
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
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
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
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine
Song Notes : "Axl Rose wrote this about his girlfriend, Erin Everly, who is the daughter of Don Everly of the Everly Brothers. They married in 1990 but divorced a month later"
"This was the first Guns N' Roses song to chart in the US. The first 2 singles from Appetite For Destruction, "It's So Easy" and "Welcome To The Jungle," flopped, although "Welcome To The Jungle" became a hit when it was re-released"
"This didn't hit US #1 until a year after Appetite For Destruction was released. Its success prompted the group to re-release "Welcome To The Jungle," which then became a hit"
"Slash came up with the riff when he was playing around on his guitar. He thought it was silly and wanted nothing to do with it, but Axl loved it and had him keep playing it. Izzy Stradlin added some chords, and the song came together. For a long time, Slash hated it, but it eventually grew on him"
"This won Best Single, Heavy Metal/Hard Rock at the 1989 American Music Awards. The group performed "Patience" at the show with Don Henley sitting in for Steven Alder (who was sick) on drums"
"In 1989, this won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Heavy Metal Video"
"A third verse Axl wrote was edited out because the record company thought it made the song too long"
