My Father’s Eyes Lyrics by Pedrito Martinez

Acertijos

2020

[Verse 1: Pedrito Martinez]
Sailing down behind the sun
Waiting for my prince to come
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Clapton]
Just a toerag on the run
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
And how will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes
[Chorus: Chorus, Eric Clapton]
(Look into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes
When I look in my father's eyes
(Look into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes
[Verse 2: Eric Clapton]
And then the light begins to shine
I hear those ancient lullabies
And as I watch this seedling grow
Feel my heart start to overflow
[Pre-Chorus: Pedrito Martinez]
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
[Chorus: Pedrito Martinez, Eric Clapton, Chorus]
(Look into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes
That's when I need my father's eyes
(Look into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3: Pedrito Martinez, Eric Clapton, Both]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Clapton]
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
[Chorus: Pedrito Martinez, Eric Clapton, Chorus]
I looked into my father's eyes
(Looked into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes
(Looked into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes
(Looked into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes
(Looked into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes
[Instrumental Outro]
