My Mother's Eyes
1954 to now
And I'm lying awake
Asking why and how
The storm rips through my chest in the night
And it leaves open wounds
That only memories patch tight
A Sunday afternoon TV show
To an evening conversation
On where our dreams can go
In the morning I will open my eyes
And for a moment
I'll believe you're still alive
I'm not ready to say goodbye
But today we'll celebrate your life
Oh, the memories
Will never die
Because I saw the love
In my Mother's eyes
We'll take baby steps
If we need to
To catch your breath
There's always more time
I'll beg all I can to keep you alive
But it's not as strong as the path life designed
I'm not ready to say goodbye
But today we'll celebrate your life
Oh, the memories
Will never die
Because I saw the love
In my Mother's eyes
The storm will pass
The smiles will glow
And although my heart breaks
I'll continue to grow
I thank you for everything
You ever did for me
I just hope you know
Now I'm ready to say goodbye
And today we'll celebrate your life
Oh, the memories
Will never die
Because I saw the love
Because I saw the love
In my Mother's eyes
In my Mother's eyes
And I'm lying awake
Asking why and how
The storm rips through my chest in the night
And it leaves open wounds
That only memories patch tight
A Sunday afternoon TV show
To an evening conversation
On where our dreams can go
In the morning I will open my eyes
And for a moment
I'll believe you're still alive
I'm not ready to say goodbye
But today we'll celebrate your life
Oh, the memories
Will never die
Because I saw the love
In my Mother's eyes
We'll take baby steps
If we need to
To catch your breath
There's always more time
I'll beg all I can to keep you alive
But it's not as strong as the path life designed
I'm not ready to say goodbye
But today we'll celebrate your life
Oh, the memories
Will never die
Because I saw the love
In my Mother's eyes
The storm will pass
The smiles will glow
And although my heart breaks
I'll continue to grow
I thank you for everything
You ever did for me
I just hope you know
Now I'm ready to say goodbye
And today we'll celebrate your life
Oh, the memories
Will never die
Because I saw the love
Because I saw the love
In my Mother's eyes
In my Mother's eyes
