Lyrics
Heavenly Boy

For Justin
G D
Your eyes were troubled
Em C
Your eyes were sad
G D Em D
Your eyes were haunted and full of pain
G D Em C
But your eyes smiled at me when I took your small hand
G D Em D
And I knew at that instant my whole life had changed
Your eyes were deep pools of sorrow
Your eyes were worried and lost and mad
Your eyes were trying so hard to understand
Why you had been taken from your mom and dad
CHORUS
C D G
I had waited so long
C D G
Praying for someone like you
C D
Then I got a call
G Em
They said hurry, come
C D
There?s a baby boy who needs a home
C D G
Your left brown eye has a small blue triangle
C D G
Its the most beautiful thing I?ve ever seen
C D G Em
And as I gazed at you that very first moment
C D G
I knew heaven had sent you to me
Your eyes were brown
And your eyes were so blue
Your eyes were scared and angry too
Cause your eyes had seen too many sad things
For eyes that were not even two years old
CHORUS
Now your eyes are so bright
Your eyes hold a light
No hurt, no pain could destroy
And you have grown up so brave
And you?ve grown up so strong
Into my heavenly boy.
And your left brown eye has a tiny blue triangle
It?s the most beautiful thing I?ll ever see
And when I look at you
I still believe
That heaven sent you to me.
