Jim Allchin - My Father's Eyes Lyrics

He's been gone bout 50 years
I still cry out my tears
Now people ask, I turn away
Still hurts me more - seems like every day
My father's eyes
Just can't say goodbye

I watched him die on that August day
That scene, won't ever go away
Didn't see me grow up, never saw me cry
To make him proud, I've tried and tried
My father's eyes
Just can't say goodbye

I don't know if I'll accept that he's gone
I even cry when I sing this song
He's in my heart, but that's not good enough for me
I want to hear him laugh and I want to see
His blue eyes smiling down at me
