Eric Clapton - My Father's Eyes

Eric Clapton - My Father's Eyes


     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
     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
