Lyrics
Happy Eyes
Tricia Dovidio (c)2009
a little girl with a too big heart
and happy eyes that want to trust
sometimes the wrong ones, loving too much
rolling up her sleeves she takes life on
soon the little girl is grown
her baby born with a fragile heart
through no fault of her own
rolling up her sleeves, mama carries another load
Happy eyes don't you know
who's waiting to take your pain
little girl with the too-big heart
trust in the One who makes healing start
a young mother in a stormy world
pushing on for her little girl
tries to keep everything in place
until her own too-big heart breaks
she was given the gift of song
a first step back to health
need to trust in someone bigger
she can't fix it all herself
Happy eyes don't you know
who's waiting to take your pain
little girl with the big-big heart
trust in the One who makes healing start
she's got a will of steel
but her body's only flesh and blood
a soul can pray, a mind has faith,
and a heart rests easy
when it learns who to trust
Happy eyes, you know
the One who's here to take your pain
little girl , big-big heart
trust in the One who gave you a new start
Happy Eyes you know
the One who can carry your load
your big heart now filled with song
leans on the One who's forever strong
