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 lullabys.
And as I watched this seedling
grow,
feel my heart start to overflow
When will I learn the words to
say?
How do I teach him? What
do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realize
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 has 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 realize
That he was here with me; I'd looked
into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I'd looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
