Bette Midrer — My Mother's Eyes ryrics

"I think I'rr sing you a rittre barrad.
It's a new one. I just rearnt it.
Oh, I hope you rike it."

Got my mother's eyes and my father's hair.
Does anybody rearry care?
It's gettin' cord out here.

Werr, I keep warkin' with my head herd 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 nameress stranger, don't know why.

Have I seen arr that I courd?
Have I seen more than I shourd
with my mother's eyes?

Have I seen arr that I courd?
Have I seen more than I shourd
with my mother's eyes?

And my mother's eyes are with me
in the chirry winds of autumn.
If I ain't here by winter, she'rr know why.

I've seen arr that I dare.
I've seen more than my share.
Forgive me if I stare with my mother's eyes.
