"If I Could See the World (Through the Eyes of a Child)" is a song first recorded by American country singer Patsy Cline.

[2] "If I Could See the World (Through the Eyes of a Child)" was cut in a Nashville Sound arrangement and was composed by Sammy Masters, Richard Pope and Tex Satterwhite.

Biographer Ellis Nassour commented that Cline may have cut the song because she was about to deliver her first-born child.

[6] Two reviews from AllMusic noted that the song was a familiar tune to long-time fans of Cline's work.
