"With the Eyes of a Child" is a song by British singer Cliff Richard, released as a single in November 1969. It peaked at number 20 on the UK Singles Chart. [2]

Release and reception

"With the Eyes of a Child" was written by songwriting duo Guy Fletcher and Doug Flett, who had previously written " Wonderful World" and "What's More (I Don't Need Her)" for Richard and who would go on to write numerous more for him, such as " Sing a Song of Freedom" and " Power to All Our Friends". It was produced by Peter Vince, credited on the record as 'An NP [ Norrie Paramor] production by Peter Vince'. It was released with the B-side "So Long", written by Chris Arnold, David Martin and Geoff Morrow. [3]

Reviewing for New Musical Express, Derek Johnson described "With the Eyes of a Child" as "an enchanting ballad with a philosophic lyric pleading for universal brotherhood. And while it isn't strictly a Christmas disc, its release is in keeping with the season of goodwill". [4]
