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 toerag 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
