Eyes of My Daughter - Song Lyrics

(Verse 1)
In the hustle of the city, as we race to find our gold,
We wear our blinders tightly as hearts grow cold.
The laughter of our children is now a distant sound,
Lost in selfish pleasures as the world spins round and round.

(Chorus)
But now I can clearly see, through my daughter's eyes,
The years that I missed, chasing alibis.
My little girl is seventeen, with dreams of her own,
Still looking for all the love I should've shown.

(Verse 2)
I was a man of passions, with so much love misplaced,
Trying to fill my empty with a gentle lover’s grace.
My daughter’s voice still echoes in the darkened hall
Where she waited as a child wanting my all in all.

(Chorus)
But now I clearly see, through my daughter's eyes,
The years that I missed, chasing alibis.
She's reaching out to someone else, she doesn’t need my hand,
The love she seeks comes from another man.

(Bridge)
My daughter’s soul had many needs, so often left unseen,
As I chased desires, and the things that might have been.
When the purest of all love was right there by my side,
In the eyes of my daughter, in the tears she cried.

(Verse 3)
I see her now with others, men held in her sway
My heart aches to know all that she gives away
Yes, I was her first man, I should've been right there,
To show true love and to hold her in my care.

(Chorus)
But now I clearly see, through my daughter's eyes,
The years that I missed, chasing alibis.
She's reaching out to someone else, she doesn’t need my hand,
The love she seeks comes from another man.
