My Father‘s Eyes

　　My Father's Eyes-Eric Clapton

　　Sailing down behind the sun,

　　Waiting for my 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 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.

　　My father's eyes.

　　My father's eyes.

　　I looked into my father's eyes

　　My father's eyes .
