FATHER'S EYES

(C)I may not be (F)ev ’ry moth er’s (G7sus)dream for her lit tle (C)girl,

and my face may not (F)grace the mind

of (G7sus)ev ’ry one in the (C)world.

But (F)that’s al right, as (E)long as I can (Am)have one wish I pray.

When (D7sus)peo ple look in (D7)side my life,

I (Dm7)want to hear them say:

She’s got her (C)Fa ther’s eyes,

her (Ebdim7)Fa ther’s eyes.

(Dm)Eyes that find the (C)good in things when (F)good is not a (Em7)round,

(Dm)eyes (Em)that (F)find (G)the (C)source (G)of (Am7)help when (D7sus)help just (D7)can’t be (G7sus)found.

(F)Eyes full of com (Cmaj7)pas sion,

(F)see ing ev ’ry (Cmaj7)pain,

(Dm)know (Em)in’ (F)what (G)you’re (C)go (G)in’ (Am7)through and (D7sus)feel in’ (D7)it the (Dm7)same.

Just like my (C)Fa ther’s eyes,

my (Bb)Fa ther’s eyes,

my (A)Fa ther’s eyes,

just like my (C)Fa ther’s eyes.

(C)On that day when (F)we will pay for (G7sus)all the deeds we have (C)done,

and good and bad, they’ll (F)all be had to (G7sus)see by ev in ’ry (C)one.

And (F)when you’re called to (E)stand and tell just (Am)what you saw in me,

When (D7sus)more than an y (D7)thing I know, I (Dm7)want your words to be:

She had her (C)Fa ther’s eyes,

her (Ebdim7)Fa ther’s eyes.

(Dm)Eyes that found the (C)good in things when (F)good was not a (Em7)round,

(Dm)eyes (Em)that (F)found (G)the (C)source (G)of (Am7)help when (D7sus)help would (D7)not be (G7sus)found.

(F)Eyes full of com (Cmaj7)pas sion,

(F)see ing ev ’ry (Cmaj7)pain,

(Dm)know (Em)in’ (F)what (G)you’re (C)go (G)in’ (Am7)through and (D7sus)feel in’ (D7)it the (Dm7)same.

Just like my (C)Fa ther’s eyes,

my (Bb)Fa ther’s eyes,

my (A)Fa ther’s eyes,

just like my (C)Fa ther’s eyes.

(C)Fa ther’s eyes.

My (Bb)Fa ther’s eyes,

my (A)Fa ther’s eyes,

just like my (C)Fa ther’s eyes.
