Sailing down behind the sun’
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.
Just a toerag on the run.
How did I get here
What have I done
When will all my hopes arise
How will I know him
When I look in my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
When I look in my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow’
Feel my heart start to overflow.
Where do I find the words to say
How do I teach him
What do we play
Bit by bit’ I’ve realized
That’s when I need them’
That’s when I need my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes. My Father's Eyes lyrics on

That’s when I need my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I’m like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.
As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him
What did I try
Bit by bit’ I’ve realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
I looked into my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
I looked into my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
