Lyrics

Tears in Her Eyes
Songwriter: Joseph Jackson

Standing at the front porch, she blows a kiss,
And she waives them goodbye.
Can?t help but think about, as they ride to school,
It seems they?ve grown overnight.

Then she?ll go in and pull out pictures,
So she can go back in time.

And with tears in her eyes she looks at photographs.
When she sees those smiles she can?t help but laugh.
Soon she?ll realize just how much time has gone by,
With tears in her eyes.

Sittin? at the edge of the bed, their prayers are done,
And she tucks them in tight.
She goes to the closet door, she promised one more thing,
Before they call it a night.

And she goes in and pulls out pictures,
So they can go back in time.

And with tears in her eyes she looks at photographs.
When she sees those smiles she can?t help but laugh.
Soon she?ll realize just how much time has gone by,
With tears in her eyes.

And she knows they?ll be out on their own one day.
But she?ll hold on to those precious moments until she has to turn that page.

And with tears in her eyes she looks at photographs.
When she sees those smiles she can?t help but laugh.
Soon she?ll realize just how much time has gone by,
With tears in her eyes.
