Perfect Child - Mike + The Mechanics

Perfect Child Lyrics

I want a perfect child
To live a perfect life in this world
And though my heart tells me this could never be
I see it all so perfectlyThey say when we have children
It changes how we live
Changes our direction
From take to giveIt changes our perspective
Of how the world should be
Our hopes and aspirations
Of what we want to seeI want a perfect child
To live a perfect life in this world
And though my heart tells me this could never be
I see it all so perfectlySee her kind and pretty
See her neat and smart
See her like her mother
With a golden heartSee him tall and handsome
See he has resolved
Believe he's like his father

But without his fathers faultsI want a perfect child
To live a perfect life in this world
And though my heart tells me this could never be
I see it all so perfectlyI know these dreams are fragile
Never work out as you planned
I pray that God will hold them
In the hollow of his handI want a perfect child
I see it all
I want a perfect childI want a perfect child
To live a perfect life in this world
Though my heart tells me this could never be
Could never be, never be, no no no
I see it all so perfectlyTo live a perfect life
Perfect life in this world
Though my heart tells
This could never be
