Through the Eyes of an Innocent Child
1st Verse
My granddaughter came to visit us just the other day
she grabbed my hand said come on Pop let’s go out and play
She held my hand we walked for a while
Then she looked at me with a great big smile
She said she loves coming here with me

Chorus:
The beauty all around us is wonderful to see
Feel the wind blowing through the trees
Feeling it all as she looks around and smiles
Seeing the world through the eyes of a innocent child

2nd Verse
We walk into the garden and she gathers up some leaves
she says she loves taking home treasures like these
We see the birds flying all around
And see the squirrels running on the ground
She just loves the nature that we see

Chorus:
The beauty all around us is wonderful to see
Feel the wind blowing through the trees
Feeling it all as she looks around and smiles
Seeing the world through the eyes of a innocent child

3rd Verse
See birds in the fountain cleaning their wings
Soft sweet music the bluebird sings
Fragrant flowers on the gentle breeze
It’s amazing how much this little girl sees
She’s taught me more than she will ever know

Chorus:
The beauty all around us is wonderful to see
Feel the wind blowing through the trees
Feeling it all as she looks around and smiles
Seeing the world through the eyes of a innocent child
