Your Mother's Eyes

(Mel Tillis)



My children come sit here and hold to my hands

For I must tell you something that I don't understand

Lately we've been living in the shadows of surprise

For 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

For I might have neglected when her need for me occured

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.



So children bear with me, promise daddy you'll try

Since I'm not the only man in your mother's eyes...
