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
Knowin' 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 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
Knowin' 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
