My Father S Eyes lyrics

MY FATHER`S EYES (Marie Claire D`Ubaldo)

When I was just three my father left to fight
I remember his eyes looking at me

When would he come home?
I asked my mother
She`d always tell me `soon`
but one year followed the other

Candlelight casts shadows on the wall
dark of night, footsteps in the hall

He`ll come home, hold on to his memory
all I know is I feel his blood inside of me
he`ll come home, like a lonesome bird that flies
In my dreams I see my father`s eyes

They stopped saying his name
mother took a lover
but I never gave up hope
of seeing my father

I never let them see
the tears I held inside
I have my father`s eyes
I have my father`s pride

Someday soon, tomorrow or today
the full moon will light his way

He`ll come home, hold on to his memory
all I know is I feel his blood inside of me
he`ll come home, like a lonesome bird that flies
In my dreams I see my father`s eyes

He`d lift me up so I could see the world go by
he`d kiss my tears away whenever I would cry
he`d always tell me that I was his little dove
but he never said goodbye
and I still feel his love
