In my Papa's eyes, I could tell how much he loved me
In my Papa's eyes, I could tell how much he cared
Although the words were never truly spoken
It was always written
In my Papa's eyes

Now I have kids of my own
The children love their Pop
They love to hear the stories he tells
They never want to hear him stop
He gives them all the time in the world
Sits them down for a cuddle or two
Bur when they say they love him from the heart
He finds it hard to say he does too

As he holds my hand so very tight
I can see a tear in his eyes tonight
I know that it was written
In my Papa's eyes

Papas Eyes

Looking back those years ago
I was Daddy's little girl
He'd let me cheat at playing cards
If I'd lost, it shattered my world
He worked his hands upon the land
For my Mum, my sisters and me
He'd watch us play in the fields of dreams
When we were young and so carefree

In my Papa's eyes
I could tell how much he loved me
In my Papa's eyes
I could tell how much he cared

Sitting on that rocking chair
Me and the dog at your feet
There's a wind that blows your thoughts away
And fades your memory
You find it hard to recall today
But in your life of yesterday
You were a lonely boy
Without love in your home
Now love's too hard to display
