My Mother's Eyes - Etta Jones, Etta James

One bright and guiding light

That taught me wrong from right

I found in my mother’s eyes

Those baby tales she told

Of streets are paved with gold

I found, I found, I found in my mother’s eyes

Just like a wandering sparrow

One lonely soul

I walk the straight and narrow

Just to reach my goal

God’s gift sent from above

A real, real, real unselfish love

I found, I found in my mother’s eyes

Just like a wandering sparrow

One lonely soul

I walk the straight and narrow

Just to reach my goal

Oh, God’s gift sent from above

Just a real, a real, a real unselfish love

Oh, I found, I found in my mother’s eyes

I found, I found in my mother’s, in my mother’s eyes
