I may not be every mothers dream
|
for her little girl,
|
And my face may not grace the mind
|
of everyone in the world.
|
But thats all right,
|
as long as I can have one wish I pray:
|
When people look inside my life,
|
I want to hear them say, Shes got her fathers eyes,
|
Her fathers eyes;
|
Eyes that find the good in things,
|
When good is not around;
|
Eyes that find the source of help,
|
When help just cant be found;
|
Eyes full of compassion,
|
Seeing every pain;
|
Knowing what youre going through
|
And feeling it the same.
|
Just like my fathers eyes,
|
My fathers eyes,
|
My fathers eyes,
|
Just like my fathers eyes. And on that day when we will pay
|
for all the deeds we have done,
|
Good and bad theyll all be had
|
to see by everyone.
|
And when youre called to stand and
|
tell just what you saw in me,
|
More than anything I know,
|
I want your words to be, She had her fathers eyes,
|
Her fathers eyes;
|
Eyes that found the good in things,
|
When good was not around;
|
Eyes that found the source of help,
|
When help would not be found;
|
Eyes full of compassion,
|
Seeing every pain;
|
Knowing what youre going through,
|
And feeling it the same.
|
Just like my fathers eyes,
|
My fathers eyes,
|
My fathers eyes,
|
Just like my fathers eyes.
|
My fathers eyes,
|
My fathers eyes,
|
Just like my fathers eyes.
