Lyrics

  1. 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

Chorus
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

  1. 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
