Eyes Like Mine

V1
I laced up those blue tennis shoes
And wiped my tears onto my sleeve
I knew I had to go that day
But it was so damn hard to leave
I kept that t-shirt from your birth day
That’s the last time I held you
This teddy bear’s from your grandma
That I’d like to give to you.
Chorus
It’s a mother’s love that let you go
And I hope that you can see
This mother’s love’s still growing
Even though you’re not with me
I’d love to meet you sometime
But, I’m afraid to cross the line.
Would I know you if I saw you?
Do you have dark eyes like mine?
V2.
Are you happy with the life you have?
I bet you’re everything I dreamed.
When we take our family photographs
I feel you right here next to me.
I wear that T-shirt on your birthday
So I can smell you once again
I know someday there’ll be a time
When I’ll hold you and not pretend.
….I’ll hold you and not pretend
Chorus
It’s a mother’s love that let you go
And I hope that you can see
This mother’s love’s still growing
Even though you’re not with me
I’d love to meet you sometime
But, I’m afraid to cross the line.
Would I know you if I saw you?
Do you have dark eyes like mine?
Bridge
I still believe in that decision
I pray adoption did you right
But wondering where you might be right now
Keeps me up so late at night
1/2 Chorus
I’d love to meet you sometime
But, I’m afraid to cross the line.
Would I know you if I saw you?
Do you have dark eyes like mine?
Would I know you if I saw you
Do you have dark eyes like mine?
