Mended Hearts Have Eyes

Lyrics by: Clement J. Gareau
Music by: Morris P. Rainville


I was a beautiful baby, I was loved but given away
My parents weren't ready, For the responsibility
As early as I can remember, My mama said I was adopted
"The Lord knew we wanted you", And your parents were selected


Chorus:
And their mended hearts have eyes
Which are locked in a tracking pattern
And they're sending love wishes
Each and everyday we've learned
And there's a quest in their eyes
And everyone wonders why
At times, their minds seem elsewhere
It's cause their mended hearts have eyes

As a child I had a wish, For my birthday, I'd get a pony
I'd show responsibility, and I wouldn't give it away
I prayed for lots of help, To convince Mom and Dad
I hoped that they were watching, It's the best gift I've ever had


Well I felt their caring eyes, As I walked down the altar
I sensed being wrapped in their love, It's a day I'll always remember
Then the long awaited day came, I met my natural parents
They said I was special, I returned the compliment


Their mended hearts have eyes
And they're sending love wishes
