Lyrics
MOMMA'S EYES
She was abandoned by her father back in WWII
they did the best they could to make ends meet
Though life was very hard, growing up without her dad
Momma always seemed to land upon her feet
Momma grew up and got married and had a family of her own.
She swore we'd have it better than she had
and though at times it wasn't easy and the money was always gone
Momma's love was there through the good and bad.
Momma's love was never-ending
momma's love was always there
she always new just what to say, to mend a hurt or wipe a tear
she always knew just what we needed and she always seemed so wise
And I could see Jesus when I looked in momma's eyes
Momma did her best to raise us, teaching right from wrong
she said sometimes to win you have to lose
though life can be a struggle
just keep on keeping on, and no matter what
To thine own self be true
Momma's love was never-ending
momma's love was always there
she always new just what to say, to mend a hurt or wipe a tear
she always knew just what we needed and she always seemed so wise
And I could see Jesus when I looked in momma's eyes
bridge:
Momma sacrificed to make our lives the best that they could be, and I hope that how I've lived my life
makes her proud of me
Momma's love was never-ending
momma's love was always there
she always new just what to say, to mend a hurt or wipe a tear
she always knew just what we needed and she always seemed so wise
And I could see Jesus when I looked in momma's eyes
I could always see Jesus-
In Momma's eyes
