Your Mother’s Eyes

My children come sit here and hold to daddy’s hands

For I must tell you something that I don’t understand

Lately we’ve been living in the shadows of surprise

Since I’m not the only man in your mother’s eyes

I can’t say it’s my fault and I won’t say it’s hers

Cause I might have neglected when her need for me occurred

But we’re still a family and must realize

That I’m not the only man in your mother’s eyes

No I’m not the only man in her eyes anymore

And soon she’ll be leaving walking out the door

And things won’t be easy with her not around

And the shame that’s now with us will be hard to live down

So children bear with me promise daddy you’ll try

Since I’m not the only man in your mother’s eyes

Since I’m not the only man in your mother’s e-y  es
