My Mother's Eyes

One bright and guiding light
That taught me wrong from right
I found in my mother's eyes
Those baby tales she told
That road all paved with gold
I found in my mother's eyes

Just like a wandering sparrow
One lonely soul
I walked the straight and narrow
To reach my goal
God's gift sent from above
A real unselfish love
I found in my mother's eyes

Why's it we don't appreciate the kind of love only a mother can give?
Until it's gone, I love you Mom
And why's it I never found the time to tell you
All the things you mean to me?
I'm sorry Mom

A simple thanks for being you right up to the very end
A thousand thanks for being you, my very best friend
When no one else is there, when I just can't seem to find the rest
Mom, I know you'll still be here
You'll always be the best

God's gift sent from above
A real unselfish love
I found in my mother's eyes

I found in my mother's eyes
