Lyrics
[Sectional Verse] Back in childhood days, I can remember Loving caresses all showered on me Mother's eyes would gaze at me so tender What was that meaning? Now I can see [A] One bright and guiding light That taught me wrong from right (Ref) I've found in my mother's eyes [A] Those baby tales she told That road all paved with gold (Ref) I've found in my mother's eyes [B] Just like a wandering sparrow One lonely soul I'll walk the straight and narrow To reach my goal [A] God's gift sent from above A real unselfish love (Ref) I've found in my mother's eyes [2 x A: spoken interlude] And if I were hang and the highest tree I know who's tears would come up to me – my mother's And if I was drowned in the deepest sea I know whose tears would come down to me – my mother's For the world may call you failure And the fates may grind you small But in the eyes of your mother You're as big and great as them all [B] Just like a wandering sparrow One lonely soul I'll walk the straight and narrow To reach my goal [A] God's gift sent from above A real unselfish love I've found in my mother's eyes
