My Mother's Eyes

Back in childhood days

I can remember loving caresses

Showered on me

Mother's eyes would gaze at me so tender

What was their meaning? Now I can see

One bright and guiding light

That taught me wrong from right

I found in my mother's eyes

Those baby tales she told

That road all paved in gold

I found in my mother's eyes

Just like a wandering sparrow

One lonely soul

I walked the straight and narrow

To reach my goal

God's gift sent from above

A real unselfish love

I found in my mother's eyes

When I'm all alone, no one around me

I find the future dark as can be

Sorrows I have known, always surround me

Then through the shadows, I always see

One bright and guiding light

That taught me wrong from right

I found in my mother's eyes

Those baby tales she told

That road all paved in gold

I found in my mother's eyes

Just like a wandering sparrow

One lonely soul

I walked the straight and narrow

To reach my goal

God's gift sent from above

A real unselfish love

I found in my mother's eyes
