Bette Midler - My Mother'S Eyes lyrics

"I think I`ll sing you a little ballad. It`s a new one. I just learnt it. Oh, I hope you like it."

Got my mother`s eyes and my father`s hair.

Does anybody really care?

It`s gettin` cold out here.

Well, I keep walkin` with my head held high,

with my head to the sky,

with my mother`s eyes.

And my mother`s eyes are with me

in the darkness that`s been paid for.

I`m just a nameless stranger, don`t know why.

Have I seen all that I could?

Have I seen more than I should

with my mother`s eyes?

And my mother`s eyes are with me

in the chilly winds of autumn.

If I ain`t here by winter, she`ll know why.

I`ve seen all that I dare.

I`ve seen more than my share.

Forgive me if I stare with my mother`s eyes.
