My Mother's Eyes

The Four Seasons

Back in childhood days,

I can remember loving caresses showered on me.

Mother's eyes would gaze at me so tender,

What was their meaning? Now I can see.

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 in 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.

When I'm all alone, no one around me,

I find the future dark as can be.

Sorrows I have known, always surround me,

Then through the shadows, I always see.

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 in 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.
