Eric Clapton - My Father s Eyes (Take 1) lyrics

Sailing down behind the sun, Waiting 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 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.
