Back in childhood days, I can remember
Loving caresses showered on me
Mother's eyes would gaze at me so tender
What was their meaning? Now I can see

One bright and guiding light
That taught me wrong from right
I found in my mother's eyes
Those baby tales she told
That road all paved in gold
I found in my mother's eyes
Just like a wandering sparrow
One lonely soul
I walked the straight and narrow
To reach my goal
God's gift sent from above
A real unselfish love
I found in my mother's eyes

One bright and guiding light
That taught me wrong from right
I found in my mother's eyes
Those baby tales she told
That road all paved in gold
I found in my mother's eyes
Just like a wandering sparrow
One lonely soul
I walked the straight and narrow
To reach my goal
God's gift sent from above
A real unselfish love
I found in my mother's eyes

When I'm all alone, no one around me
I find the future dark as can be
Sorrows I have known, always surround me,
Then through the shadows, I always see

One bright and guiding light
That taught me wrong from right
I found in my mother's eyes
Those baby tales she told
That road all paved in gold
I found in my mother's eyes
Just like a wandering sparrow
One lonely soul
I walked the straight and narrow
To reach my goal
God's gift sent from above
A real unselfish love
I found in my mother's eyes

One bright and guiding light
That taught me wrong from right
I found in my mother's eyes
Those baby tales she told
That road all paved in gold
I found in my mother's eyes
Just like a wandering sparrow
One lonely soul
I walked the straight and narrow
To reach my goal
God's gift sent from above
A real unselfish love
I found in my mother's eyes
