Your Mother's Eyes Lyrics

Mel Tillis Your Mother's Eyes

My children come sit here and hold to daddy's hands
For I must tell you something that I don't understand
Lately we've been living in the shadows of surprise
Since I'm not the only man in your mother's eyes
I can't say it's my fault and I won't say it's hers
Cause I might have neglected when her need for me occures
But we're still a family and must realize
That I'm not the only man in your mother's eyes
No I'm not the only man in her eyes anymore
And soon she'll be leaving walking out the door
And things won't be easy with her not around
And the shame that's now with us will be hard to live down
So children bear with me promise daddy you'll try
Since I'm not the only man in your mother's eyes
Since I'm not the only man in your mother's eyes
