Eric Clapton - My Father's Eyes

Songtekst van 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

Look into my father's eyes
My father's eyes
When I look in my father's eyes
Look into 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

Look into my father's eyes
My father's eyes
That's when I need my father's eyes
Look into my father's eyes
My father's eyes (Yeah)

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

Look into my father's eyes
My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes
Look into my father's eyes
My father's eyes

My father's eyes
Look into my father's eyes
My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes
Look into my father's eyes
My father's eyes
