"My Mother's Eyes (1967)"

One bright and guiding light,
That taught me the wrong from right,
I found in my mother's eyes.

Those baby tales she told,
All roads are paved with gold,
I found in my mother's eyes.

Just like a wandering sparrow, one lonely soul,
I walk the straight and narrow, to reach my goal.

God's gift sent from above,
One real, unselfish love,
I found in my mother's eyes.

Just like a wandering sparrow, one lonely soul,
I walk the straight and narrow, just to reach my goal.

God's gift sent from above,
One real, unselfish love,
I found in my mother's eyes.
