My Father's Eyes - Eric Clapton

Sailin' down behind the sun

Waitin' 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 looked 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

Now 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

And 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

(Look into my father’s eyes)

(Look into my father’s eyes)

(Yeah, yeah)

(Look into my father’s eyes)
