"Your Mother's Eyes" lyrics - THE HEAD AND THE HEART

THE HEAD AND THE HEART
"Your Mother's Eyes"

Sleep, my baby girl, sleep
Don't be afraid of the world
'Cause I'm right here, I'm right...

Sleep, my baby girl, sleep
When the wind picks up
And the days get longer, I'll be here

[Pre-Chorus:]
Just when you start to think that you're all alone
But I'm right here, I'm right here

[Refrain:]
Ooh, ooh, o-ooh
Ooh, ooh, o-ooh

[Chorus:]
Stranger ships will pass you in the night
Don't you worry, baby, it's alright, it's alright
You're the beacon, yeah, you're the light
Seen that same look in your mother's eyes

In your mother's eyes
That's how I know that it's alright...

[Refrain:]
Ooh, ooh, o-ooh
Ooh, ooh, o-ooh

[Bridge:]
My only regret's taking so long
Finding these simple truths
So I could sing for you (I could sing for you)
(I could sing for you)

[Refrain:]
Ooh, ooh, o-ooh
Ooh, ooh, o-ooh

[Chorus:]
Stranger ships will pass you in the night
Don't you worry, baby, it's alright, it's alright
You're the beacon, yeah, you're the light
Seen that same look in your mother's eyes

[Outro:]
That's how I know that it's alright
That's how I know that it's alright, it's alright

Sleep, my baby girl, sleep...
