Lyrics for Sweet Child O' Mine as interpreted by mike

Sweet Child O' Mine Lyrics
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where evrything
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

to me this is about a man who has fallen in love with a woman who is much younger then him. she reminds him of his youth, and he loves her not only for the woman she is but the man that she makes him. in the end when he says where do we go i feel like hes wondering if this relationship has a future since she has so much more to learn about life...

also agree...
still wondering at the end - 'where do we go' - whether they are in a relationship, or if he is unsure if they should/can be??

This song makes me think of someone looking at his daughter and it taking him back into his own childhood. This is one of my most favorite songs ever.

i dont think its necessarily literally a younger woman. i think the youth he sees in her is more internal, metaphorical.

This song is my absolute favorite song. It reminds me of my ... well ... dream guy, Tom Bohan, of Publicide.
[ http://www.publicide.co.uk ] Anyways, it's his favorite song, too. I've spend hours on end, this song, on repeat...crying over Tom. That's all.

I always thought about it the way sweetie did. Seeing as every guy I "hang" with is at least four years older then me. But no matter how much we like one another I can't have a relationship with them because of the "law" I'm glad someone else thought of it like that to.

sweetie you were on the right track but took it too far. it was written for erin everly. it wasnt necessarily a younger women. you were taking it too literal. she makes him feel like a little boy and all his fears are gone. its about finding true love.

How about this: Axl misses the times when he was a child, because he
has made some wrong decisions in his life. The girl might be an
imaginative projection of his innocence (maybe even childhood), a
suggestive image of something he had lost forever, summoned from the
depths of his memory. He is never getting all this back, and has to
cope with it. "Where do we go?" could mean a cry of a confuzed man who
came to face the fact, that regardless of whether certain things are
gone forever or not, life goes on - the poor man has to move on
with the life, even if he doesn't know where to go. I know this is
probabely an overinterpretation, but hell, that's the way I feel about
it.
