My Fathers Eyes

[Intro]
        (x3)  
    (    )

[Verse 1]
                                                            
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.
                                                                 
Look into my fathers eyes, my father s eyes.                   When I look in my father s eyes.
                                                       
Look into my fathers 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.

[Verse 2]
                                                           
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.
