T.C. Elliott - My Mother's Eyes Lyrics

My mother's eyes don't shine as bright
Out in the cold, late at night
She says she will be alright
But I think she's losing the fight

My mother's eyes just aren't the same
Thought I can't tell you what has changed
Every day she lives in pain
And sometimes I have no name

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
She makes me sad, she makes me angry
With what she's going through
And I'm not strong enough to be
The rock I think she needs
My mother's eyes aren't the same as they used to be

My mother's eyes stare through me
I don't know what it is she sees
It's hard to smile when she's so weak
She cries as I kiss her cheek

My mother's eyes are full of tears
But they can't wash away the fear
She doesn't know that I am here
I watch as she disappears

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
She makes me sad, she makes me angry
With what she's going through
And I'm not strong enough to be
The rock I think she needs
My mother's eyes aren't the same as they used to be
My mother's eyes aren't the same as they used to be
