My Mother's Eyes

Tom Jones · When I Fall In Love [2005]

One bright and guiding light

That taught me wrong from right

I found in my mother's eyes



Those baby tales she told

Of pathways paved with gold

I found in my mother's eyes



Just like a wandering sparrow, a lonely soul

I'd walk the straight and narrow till I reach my goal



God's gift sent from above

One true unselfish love

I found in my mother's eyes

I found in my mother's eyes



Just like a wandering sparrow, a lonely soul

I'd walk the straight and narrow till I reach my goal



God's gift sent from above

One true unselfish love

I found in my mother's eyes

I found in my mother's eye
