MY FATHER'S EYES
(ERIC CLAPTON)
Sailing down, behind the sun...
Waiting for the Prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain,
To restore my soul again...
Just a toe rag on the run.
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know when,
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.
I hear those ancient lullabies,
And as I watch the 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 realize,
That's when I need them,
That's when I need my Father's eyes...
My Father's eyes...
That's when I need my Father's eyes...
My Father's eyes...
Then the jagged edge appears,
Through the distance,
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 did I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit,
I realize,
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...
