When you wake up early mama
Make my breakfast , feed me
Get me ready to face the day
It’s your eyes I look at and feel loved
When you patiently wait for me
To get into the cab , drive slowly
Keeping me in that conversation as we drive
It’s your eyes I look at and feel the love
When you take time with me
And explain the subjects to me precisely
So thorough that I always score that A!
It’s your eyes I look at and feel the love
When you hold my hand and walk with me
Play “my kind” games because you care for me
Indulge so much in our mute friendly talks
It’s your eyes I look at and feel the love
