My Father's Eyes (Eric Clapton)

My Father’s Eyes

Sailing down behind the sun,

Waiting for my prince to come.

Praying for the healing rain

To restore my soul again.

Just a toe rag on the run.

How did I get here?

What have I done?

When will all my hopes arise?

How will I know him?

When I look in my father’s eyes.

My father’s eyes.

When I look in my father’s eyes.

My father’s eyes.

Then the light begins to shine

And I hear those ancient lullabies.

And as I watch this seedling grow,

Feel my heart start to overflow.

Where do I find the words to say?

How do I teach him?

What do we play?

Bit by bit, I’ve realized

That’s when I need them,

That’s when I need my father’s eyes.

My father’s eyes.

That’s when I need my father’s eyes.

My father’s eyes.

Then the jagged edge appears

Through the distant clouds of tears.

I’m like a bridge that was washed away;

My foundations were made of clay.

As my soul slides down to die.

How could I lose him?

What did I try?

Bit by bit, I’ve realized

That he was here with me;

I looked into my father’s eyes.

My father’s eyes.

I looked into my father’s eyes.

My father’s eyes.

My father’s eyes. My father’s eyes.

I looked into my father’s eyes.

My father’s eyes.

Let it grow (Eric Clapton)

Let It Grow

Standing at the crossroads, trying to read the signs
To tell me which way I should go to find the answer,
And all the time I know,
Plant your love and let it grow.

Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow.
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
Love is lovely, let it grow.

Looking for a reason to check out of my mind,
Trying hard to get a friend that I can count on,
But there’s nothing left to show,
Plant your love and let it grow.

Chorus

Time is getting shorter and there’s much for you to do.
Only ask and you will get what you are needing,
The rest is up to you.
Plant your love and let it grow.

Chorus

Layla (Eric Clapton)

Layla (Eric Clapton/Derek And The Dominos)

 What’ll you do when you get lonely
 And nobody’s waiting by your side?
 You’ve been running and hiding much too long.
 You know it’s just your foolish pride.

 CHORUS:
 Layla, you’ve got me on my knees.
 Layla, I’m begging, darling please.
 Layla, darling won’t you ease my worried mind.

 I tried to give you consolation
 When your old man had let you down.
 Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
 Turned my whole world upside down.

 CHORUS

 Let’s make the best of the situation
 Before I finally go insane.
 Please don’t say we’ll never find a way
 And tell me all my love’s in vain.

 CHORUS

Knocking on heaven's door (Eric Clapton)

KNOCKIN’ ON HEAVEN’S DOOR Lyrics

by Bob Dylan

Ma, take this badge off of me.
I can’t use it any more.
It’s getting dark, too dark to see.
Feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door.

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.

Ma, take these guns away from me.
I can’t shoot them any more.
There’s a long black cloud following me.
Feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door.

Key to the highway (Eric Clapton)

Key To The Highway

I got the key to the highway,
Billed out and bound to go.
I’m gonna leave here running;
Walking is most too slow.

I’m going back to the border
Woman, where I’m better known.
You know you haven’t done nothing,
Drove a good man away from home.

Live Verse: When the moon peeks over the mountains
I’ll be on my way.
I’m gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day.

Oh give me one, one more kiss mama
Just before I go,
‘Cause when I leave this time you know I,
I won’t be back no more.
