Tracy Elliott: Tracy's Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I wrote this song for my father. The lyrics are 100% about me and my dad.

Your Eyes Are Mine

We used to play catch out in the yard
Wasting time yet playing so hard
And now that I'm getting older, I'm feeling more alone
But still you look at me not realizing I'm grown
And we've had our share of troubled times
But we always seem to work it out

And I still call you Daddy
The greatest one of all
And you're the one who's always there for me
Standing strong and standing tall
And with everyday that passes I realize
I'm proud of you and I'm proud
Your eyes are mine

One day we'll sit on my front porch and play the blues
Or maybe we'll shoot some hoops and maybe this time you'll lose
Or maybe we'll search the darkest skies for who we are
And maybe we'll find the answers in God's brightest star
And we've had our share of troubled times
But we always seem to work it out

And I still call you Daddy
The greatest one of all
And you're the one who's always there for me
Standing strong and standing tall
And with everyday that passes I realize
I'm proud of you and I'm proud
Your eyes are mine
