Lyrics

"MAMA'S EYES" I WAS BORN IN A TWO ROOM SHACK IN THE HILLS OF TENNESSEE NEVER KNEW MY DADDY NEVER SAT UPON HIS KNEE SO MAMA ROCKED ME EVRY NIGHT AN SANG ME LULLABIES BUT MOST OF ALL I RECALL THE LOVE IN MAMA'S EYES . "MAMA'S EYES" SHINED LIKE DIAMONDS THRU MY DARKEST NIGHTS WHEN I CRIED ONE LOOK COULD BRING A SMILE "MAMA'S EYES ALWAYS TOLD ME WHEN I DID WRONG OR RIGHT AN I KNEW SHE ALWAYS LOVED ME I COULD SEE IT IN "MAMA'S EYES" . MAMA ALWAYS TAUGHT ME TO STAND PROUD THOUGH WE WERE POOR AN FOR THE LITTLE THINGS WE HAD EVRY DAY SHE THANKED THE LORD SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE TO COMFORT ME WITH WORDS STRONG AN WISE BUT WORDS COULD NEVER TAKE THE PLACE OF THE LOVE IN MAMA'S EYES . AT SEVENTEEN I MET THE BOY WITH WHOM I'D SETTLE DOWN AN MAMA GAVE HER BLESSIN' AN SHE MADE A WEDDIN' GOWN THE DAY I CALLED HER GRANMA SHE SMILED AT ME AN CRIED AN I COULD SEE THE TEARS OF JOY THAT FLOWED FROM MAMA'S EYES
