My Mother's Eyes Lyrics - Divine Madness - Bette Midler

Got my mother's eyes and my father's hair 

Does anybody really care? 

It's gettin' cold out here 

Well, I keep walkin' with my head held high 

With my head to the sky 

With my mother's eyes 

And my mother's eyes are with me 

In the darkness that's been paid for 

I'm just a nameless stranger, don't know why 

Have I seen all that I could? 

Have I seen more than I should? 

With my mother's eyes? 

Have I seen all that I could? 

Have I seen more than I should? 

With my mother's eyes? 

And my mother's eyes are with me 

In the chilly winds of autumn 

If I ain't here by winter, she'll know why 

I've seen all that I dare 

I've seen more than my share 

Forgive me if I stare with my mother's eyes
