Your Mother's Eyes Composer(s): Mel Tillis Performer(s): Porter Wagoner; Mel Tillis
My children come sit here and hold to my hand 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 leavin', walkin' 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 Momma's eyes
