Momma Through Daddy S Eyes lyrics

Mama through daddy`s eyes

The angels called my daddy home. He never had much yet he claimed to be rich. He had us and his love for momma. He left this world loving a memory. A ghost from the past. That he could never lay to rest. He whispered her name one last time, and followed the angels to a new home. I can still hear his voice at times, He calls to his one true love.

I heard it through the years, Don`t talk bad about momma. With anger and eyes filled with tears. I never understood the love he showed. For someone so far away. Should love hurt this way. A woman so selfish with love I wish I could see momma through daddy`s eyes.

Momma came home as age began to take its toll. The city lights weren`t so bright There was no pain and sorrow for the man who loved her so. How could I love this woman that was never there. I`m not that child who longed for her all those years.But time has eased the pain and I can still hear daddy`s words Always be good to momma.

I heard it through the years, Don`t talk bad about momma. With anger and eyes filled with tears. I never understood the love he showed. For someone so far away. Should love hurt this way. A woman so selfish with love I wish I could see momma through daddy`s eyes.

As I`ve grown I came to realize why daddy went home so soon. He gave me time to get to know momma as in the stories he told. Many things have I learned from a ghost from the past. A momma so kind and gentle. Now that I can see momma through daddy`s eyes. (c) Judy Benge
