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 perfectly They say when we have children It changes how we live Changes our direction From take to give It changes our perspective Of how the world should be Our hopes and aspirations Of what we want to see 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 perfectly See her kind and pretty See her neat and smart See her like her mother With a golden heart See him tall and handsome See he has resolved Believe he's like his father But without his fathers faults 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 perfectly I know these dreams are fragile Never work out as you planned I pray that God will hold them In the hollow of his hand I want a perfect child I see it all I want a perfect child I 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 perfectly To live a perfect life Perfect life in this world Though my heart tells This could never be
