Clapton, Eric - My Father's Eyes Lyrics
Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the light begins to shine
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.
Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them,
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.
As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.

Es el hombre menos sexy más sexy del mundo. Como puede caber tanta simpleza y perfección en una sola persona? Un deleite.
Who is listening/ watching on 2020 ¡¿¡♡♡
Such beautiful soul coming through this fabulous song! Love it so much.
Blimey what a band huh...no backing singers and they sound incredible...this is talent.
From 6.20. It's the best bit of guitar your ever likely to hear
Pretty playin.. not just fast-pickin.. soulful, not showing off scales..
Hope he can always perform guitar solo like this in every live show..
I am confused. . .is he talking about HIS FATHER or GOD THE FATHER? Sounds like either could be
His father and also himself as a father
10 hours to 2020.love u dad
Great version of this wonderful song. It would be even better with a decent organ player!!
Covardia o que este povo toca !!!!!!!
SO MUCH SOUL
I UNDERSTAND NOW. THE SUFFERING AND PAIN YOU HAD TO ENDURE. I KNOW. A PERSON CAN EXSIST IN THIS WORLD, A BROKEN HEART KEEPS ON BEATING REGUARDLESS...AND SOMETIMES YOU HATE IT FOR DOING SO. WHAT COURAGE YOU HAVE. YOU'RE MOVING FORWARD KNOWING YOU ARE LEAVING A REMARKABLE LEGACY. GOD BLESS YOU MR. CLAPTON. 💖💥

fantastic song fantastic Erik and fantastic of the drum's Winny Colaiuta
No the drummer is Steve Gadd .
Dad died suddenly in 1995. At the funeral as they lowered him into the ground I promised him I would look after my mom. I have faithfully done so. She wanted for nothing. She has been on hospice for over a year now and I am her main unpaid caregiver.... Not much longer left.. When we all meet again on the streets of heaven I can tell him I truly did my best. No regrets dad. I love you both...
Help Them & Recreate
Have a nice winter 2020.forget troubles!

SORRY 💖💥
DOES THIS MEAN I'M GONNA LOSE MY ENDORSEMENT?
What does that mean, concerning this song? Thanks
Not about his father but mine...I would say that to him. I wasn't the best in behavior defiant...he did not approve alot...maybe I FELT I couldn't MEASURE up...long story.
Clapton's music will live on forever..wonderful!
Just an outstanding performance!
A man and his guitar. along with some friends and their instruments... just a few words... for emphasis...

He says this song reminds of his father get said his dad been gone 13 year's he said even though his father walked out on him when he was about 7 he still loves his father says when he hears this song it brings up his father
Dopo Dio ci sei tu ! Eric semplicemente inarrivabile!

We need Ed sharen
Needs to be more up dated songs

This is the best looking strat in the world... If my strat wasn't that cheap, I'd get the same paint job done. Considering how cheap mine is, it would be a total waste of money :(
I miss my dad t.t
Me too!!
This is one awesome song... so much true spirit... men of god!
Beauty song🙌
I am
Here.
Slow hand wins. . . Fatality

My father was a narcissistic pathological sociopath, I’m blessed to have made a sea change with my children. My heart gently weeps for him. Old school was a hard school. 😢
Hmm I know where your coming from ...my bike shed was my refuge...quiet and candlelit with made up adventures at 64 I still think maybe it was My fault.
david English no David, it wasn’t us, it takes years to get that. It’s why I always look my kids in their eyes, which brings me all the solace and thanks I realized it was never me. Cheers mate🇺🇸🍺
This is Reggae Blues
Look into my mother's eyes that made me as I am today ... but tribute to my birth father /// this
song is for you ... I know you are me and I am you....
that my teacher
My admiration for Eric spans more than 50 years. Reading his autobiography was a riveting experience. I just love this song and wish I could share it with my father -- also a professional musician (tenor sax) -- and look.into his eyes. Thanks, Eric. Your journey mirrors mine in many ways.
Q bella cancion ...un balazo al pecho
I remember my fathers eyes when he died this song brings it all back. Oh how i miss my Dad
IMMENSOOOOOOOO
There simply is no one better
I already know I'm about to cry
This song...
.......mit insgesamt zwei hinreißenden Soli von EC, der spielfreudig und leidenschaftlich daher kommt und seine "mates" ( N.East, David Sancious (?), S.Gadd, A.F.Low und B.Preston an der Hammond - möge er in Frieden ruhen ) dadurch mitreißt...Wunderbar, das immer wieder anzuhören. Das ist eindeutig die beste mir bekannte Fassung dieses gefühlsstarken Songs. Yes, Wow ! Das war eine ganz starke Zeit ( 2001 in LA ) für die Musik von EC
Song has so much meaning
Did Eric Clapton recognize his birth father with this song ,,,whatever there has to be
a father somewhere ,,,,to make this song ....
His guitar solo was very beautiful, sophisticated, his blues reaches majority of music listeners. The greatest guitar player the world has ever seen, and oh singer too.. ohh he is a real musicman..
If you had a father that inspired you.... you can relate to this song....
Just Classic Clapton 🎸:-)!!
I miss my marvelous ⚘ Grandfather ⚘
I want to dedicated to him ⚘
Eric has magic hands !!!!!!!
Fuck me dead....watching this is the best way any human being can spend 8 minutes.
damn , he's just so good. i'm glad to no that i always had a system, that make's him sound like it was mean to be.
Lost my father almost 2 months ago. Loved this song before he passed, but since his passing it's touched me in ways I can't put into words. Dad was my best friend. I'd sell my soul to be able to look into my father's eyes again.
I know ....
Lost my Dad 21 years ago.. Never gets easier...Wish I could look into my Fathers eyes one more time....
Oh baby..................
I can only imagine looking into my Heavenly Father's eyes when I hear this. Very awaking...
I think it is a GREAT song,but I was wondering if he is talking about his worldly father or Heavenly Father-I think Heavenly.Could someone help me out please
@Richard Moss Geez, guess I should give 'em a call and ask? LOL
@Laurie I am sorry.I did not intend for this to be funny in any way.I lost my son some time ago and I know that Mr.Clapton lost his son,Conner,at the age of four.I have an alcohol problem,same as Mr.Clapton,and I guess I was just looking for a lost message in his song......Thank you......
@Richard Moss First, I apologize for my words that may have caused you pain in your loss. I pray that the Heavenly Father grace you with comfort and peace in your loss and pain. Merry Christmas!
I love him
Another case of Eric ripping a guitar I to pieces. He sounds like Huey Lewis here.
É uma lenda
Eric Clapton, muito bom excelente!!
Shit you are a liar. Your father is alive. Fuck
That´s Clapton
My father with his eyes only would talk to us love you add rip
Father: my best Friend. Thanks for this song, I am listening many years again and again!
What a beautiful song, a true legend
Does Fender sale that model stratcaster ?
