Your Mother's Eyes Lyrics - Mel Tillis

My children come sit here and hold to daddy's hands 

For I must tell you something that I don't understand 

Lately we've been living in the shadows of surprise 

Since 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 

Cause I might have neglected when her need for me occures 

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 leaving walking 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 

Since I'm not the only man in your mother's eyes
