Story behind the song
This song is one of those precious mysterious gifts that came unexpectedly. I was originally asked to write a song for the movie "Autumn In New York" starring Richard Gere and Wynona Ryder. The story is about a young woman who is dying from an incurable illness and about the love that exists between her and Richard Gere's character. I was so moved by the story that I had to draw upon my own life and dig deeper to reveal all of the emotions I felt years earlier when my father passed away. I had to go back and reflect on all of the things he said during his illness, and the love that he felt for my mother. I began to see his life and feel his emotions and express his heart ...I saw the world as he must have seen it before his passing. what resulted was a song that is my favorite and the most dear to me. It eventually never made it into the movie but it stands as a tribute and testament of the love he felt for my mother...and a gift to me
Lyrics
" Through My Eyes " * Written & produced by Leila & Bobbi "Funkeeboy" Tammaro (C)2003 (Verse) If I couldn’t speak a word my eyes, would be heard what a story they’d tell That I painfully waited while my heart faded until they saw you (Chorus) They’d tell of years gone by face marked by tears, now dry prayers that brought you....the only one who knew how I felt inside You...... saw me through my eyes loved me through my eyes (Verse) Did I make my life worthwhile ever bring a smile never knew until the day When I by the heavens chosen to have my heart opened found my strength through you (Chorus) Lord, there were years gone by face marked by tears, now dry prayers that brought you...the only one who knew how I felt inside You saw me through my eyes (Build) When clarity seemed far away....you became the path to take ( Repeat Chorus)
