Lyrics
Through The Eyes Of My Child (to be sung by a Male Vocalist)
Yesterday's me had all the answers
Yesterday's me stuck to the script
Living a life not taking chances
All of the pieces had to fit
Looking at life now as a father
Seeing that first smile
Everything's changed, I see the future
Through the eyes of my child.
Now I don't care when moments linger
Smelling and tasting something new
Feeling her tiny little fingers
Hearing her whisper I love you
Looking at life now as a father
Seeing that first smile
Everything's changed, I see the future
Through the eyes of my child.
I caught myself just planning to walk her down the aisle
But that was the old me- that won't be for a while...
Every day passes she is growing
Somehow I'm feeling young and free
Happy inside I'm always glowing-
Loving this brand new side of me
Looking at life now as a father
Seeing that first smile
Everything's changed, I see the future
Through the eyes of my child. (Repeat chorus 2X)
