Eric Clapton - My Father's Eyes lyrics

(by 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.
