Father's Eyes

I may not be ev'ry mother's dream for her little girl,

and my face may not grace the mind of (G)ev'ryone in the world.

But (Gmaj7)that's alright as long as I can (Bm)have one wish I pray,

when (Bm7)people look inside my life,

I (Em7)want to hear them say:

(A9)She's got her Father's eyes,

her (Fdim7)Father's eyes,

(Em7)eyes that find the good in things when (Gmaj7)good is not around,

(Em7)eyes (F#m7)that (G)find (A)the (D)source (A)of (Bm)help when (E9sus)help just can't be found,

(Gmaj9)eyes full of compassion, seeing ev'ry pain,

(Em7)(F#m7)knowin' (G)what (A)you're (D)(A)goin' (Bm)through and (E9sus)feelin' it the same.

(G)Just like my (D)Father's eyes, my (C)Father's eyes,

my (B)Father's eyes,

(Em)just like my (D)Father's eyes.

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

and good and bad, they'll all be had to (G)see by everyone.

And (Gmaj7)when you're called to stand and tell just (Bm)what you saw in me,

when (Bm7)more than anything I know,

I (Em7)want your words to be:

(A9)She had her Father's eyes,

her (Fdim7)Father's eyes,

(Em7)eyes that found the good in things when (Gmaj7)good was not around,

(Em7)eyes (F#m7)that (G)found (A)the (D)source (A)of (Bm)help when (E9sus)help would not be found,

(Gmaj9)eyes full of compassion, seeing ev'ry pain,

(Em7)(F#m7)knowin' (G)what (A)you're (D)(A)goin' (Bm)through and (E9sus)feelin' it the same.

(G)Just like my (D)Father's eyes, my (C)Father's eyes,

my (B)Father's eyes,

(Em)just like my (D)Father's eyes.

(D)Father's eyes, my (C)Father's eyes,

my (B)Father's eyes,

(Em)just like my (D)Father's eyes.
