Father's Blue Eyes

歌詞

I was born to a dreamer, a simple compassionate man Who gave me the love that I needed, taught me to love this land He never cared about money, he was as rich as a king The birds and the trees and his garden, and I remember how he loved to sing Farewell to the days of my childhood Farewell to the lost lullabies To the innocence, beauty and wonder Farewell to my father’s blue eyes I found my way to the city, I had a dream of my own And each week he’d write me a letter, and I’d call him if I felt alone As I’ve grown older I cherish the time we had to spend Fishing and laughing together, oh I wish I could go there again Farewell to the days of my childhood Farewell to the lost lullabies To the innocence, beauty and wonder Farewell to my father’s blue eyes As I wind through these mountains You can never go home so they say I leave my heart in these mountains They buried my father today Farewell to the days of my childhood Farewell to the lost lullabies To the innocence, beauty and wonder Farewell to my father’s blue eyes To the wisdom, the love and the kindness I saw in my father’s blue eyes
