American Child Lyrics & Music by George Douglas Lee Beautiful child, you're amazing, how I love your fragile smile Beautiful child, you're a dreamer, I see stories in your eyes It's a mystery to me why you always want to be The one and only thing in my heart How I love to love you... Beautiful Child Your childlike innocence is sunshine on a cloudy day Dolls and things give way to rings as the birthdays pass away You're above the dim confusion of the ordinary way You're a gift to the world and me, Don't ever change Melodic break… English music hall feel You've got the personality, you've got those winning ways Unaware of your charisma, a light that never fades You know you fascinate me with your eternal smile You shut the world outside for a long, long while – American Child American Child, you have such a style, You've got it all, and you know what I mean American Child, I'm a dreamer and You are my American Dream Beautiful Child, how you love to dance and sing You made a fortune wearing make-up, in a magazine You're a star spangled schoolgirl, success is in your hands Some say you’re the greatest in the land, give the girl a hand American Child, you're amazing, I tell you you're a genius and you smile American Child, You're a dreamer too, I'd love to live the vision in your eyes Melodic break, descending C pattern with lilting nostalgic tune I was dreaming of New York City, And I was thinking of you I’ve been waiting, for you to come back, don’t fall off your silver shoes Homecoming queen and a real cheerleader, people said she’s gonna be a star You worked so hard, for your place in the sun, but don’t forget just who you are Strike the set and come back home, the show closed out of town Season’s over, dim the lights, I knew you’d come around American Child, you have that American style You’ve got it all and still you want some more American Child, I thought I knew you Till I saw them paint a star upon your door Have you forgotten? Are you just pretending? You’re a small town girl who got a lucky shot There’s another one waiting, for a chance to replace you Success is sweet but not as hot For every sunrise, there’s a little rain Sometimes it happens much too fast I’ll still here, now that the party’s over How long you think it’s gonna last? Did you miss a beat down on forty second street? The story isn’t over, the script is incomplete American Child, you're amazing, no matter what you hide behind your smile American Child, I’m so proud of you, you were at the top for a while American Child - don't ever change. it's easy to get lost along the way American Child, they can’t break your spirit You’ve got the will and there’s a way And tomorrow – is another day
