Eric Clapton - My Father's Eyes Lyrics
(by eric clapton)Sailing down behind the sun,Waiting for my prince to come.Praying for the healing rainTo 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 fathers eyes.My fathers eyes.When I look in my fathers eyes.My fathers eyes.Then the light begins to shineAnd 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, Ive realizedThats when I need them,Thats when I need my fathers eyes.My fathers eyes.Thats when I need my fathers eyes.My fathers eyes.Then the jagged edge appearsThrough the distant clouds of tears.Im 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, Ive realizedThat he was here with me;I looked into my fathers eyes.My fathers eyes.I looked into my fathers eyes.My fathers eyes.My fathers eyes.My fathers eyes.I looked into my fathers eyes.My fathers eyes.
