My Father's Eyes - Eric Clapton

I've never really known which way I'm facing But I feel like something's changed There's a storm outside, my walls are raging They're coming back down in the hardest way There's a rain protecting me Rings around my father's eyes Light above the morning sea Into darkness, I will reach Fall into the ocean deep Just to bring you back Babe, it's almost five I've been gone since the moonlight faded And punishing rain washed me away How can I give back what once was stolen? How can I stay all day? When it's all a lie, I'm just hiding in a memory Yeah, what waits for you? What waits for me? There's a bridge connecting me Rings around my father's eyes Light above the morning sea Fill the crater into the song Feel the wings across your arms Another way to lose, that's all Mm-mm, mm-mm As I ride into the wind What a restless feeling One I've tried to hide so long Fill the crater into the song To feel the wings across your arms Cut the wing in two No one really knows which way they're facing 'Til they're coming back down

I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say She's got her Father's Eyes Her Father's Eyes Eyes that find the good in things When good is not around Eyes that find the source of help When help just can't be found Eyes full of compassion Seeing every pain Knowing what you're going through And feeling it the same Just like my Father's Eyes My Father's Eyes My Father's Eyes Just like my Father's Eyes And on that day when we will pay For all the deeds we have done Good and bad they'll all be had To see by everyone And when you're called to stand and tell Just what you saw in me More than anything I know I want your words to be She had her Father's Eyes Her Father's Eyes Eyes that found the good in things When good was not around Eyes that found the source of help When help would not be found Eyes full of compassion Seeing every pain Knowing what you're going through And feeling it the same Just like my Father's Eyes My Father's Eyes My Father's Eyes Just like my Father's Eyes My Father's Eyes My Father's Eyes Just like my Father's Eyes

Travelin' light is the only way to fly. Travelin' light, just you and I. A one way ticket to ecstasy, Away on down, just follow me. Travelin' light is the only way to fly. Travelin' light, now we can catch the wind. Travelin' light, just let your mind pretend. We can go to paradise, Maybe once, maybe twice. Travelin' light is the only way to fly. Travelin' light is the only way to fly. Travelin' light, just you and I. We can go to paradise, Maybe once, maybe twice. Travelin' light is the only way to fly.

You don't know how much this means To have this music in me I just keep playing these blues' Hoping that I dont lose I just keep playing my song Hoping that I get along You don't know how much it means To have this music in me In the morning In the daytime In the evening In the nighttime too I gotta have it I gotta have this blues I gotta have it You don't know how much it means To have this music in me I just keep playing my song Hoping that I get along In the morning In the daytime In the night In the night time too In the morning In the daytime In the evening In the midnight hours I gotta have it I gotta have I gotta have this blues I gotta have it I gotta have
