Perfect Child Mike + the Mechanics

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
