THE LOVE IN MY MOTHERS EYES (The Circle of Life )
Words by Mike Cuollo
Music and Performed by Barry David Butler
She took me by the hand and led me off to school
It must have been my very first day
She told me “It was time to start a new part of my life
I’d listen to every single word she’d say
As I walked up to that building scared as I could be
I wanted to make her proud of me
She came one day and got me and much to my surprise
She held me close and loved me all she could
She turned her face upon me and said you are my prize
I could see the love inside in my mother’s eyes
I packed my bags for college I was going far away
I’d never been away from home
To say goodbye was hard to do tears fell from my face
For the first time I’d really felt alone
But my mother stood before me and looked into my eyes
And said “Son I’m so proud of you"
(Chorus)
We were standing at the aisle this was my big day
I’ll spend my life with my new lady
Their eyes were all upon us we were center stage
What was nervousness had all faded away
The preacher gave his blessings with words so profound
They came and they spoke to me
(Chorus)
As I stood before my mother her spirit seemed to say
“I’m here for you although I’ve gone away
My Soul was feeling broken despair I couldn’t hide
The loneliness I felt deep inside
The memories of my Mother impressed upon my mind
Will always be a part of me
(Chorus)
It was a special moment we had a baby girl
A new edition to our lives
I felt for her the way my mother felt for me
With love and wonderful pride
When I picked her up and held her so gently in my arms
And placed her close to me
AT THE MOMENT THAT I GOT HER & MUCH TO MY SURPISE
I HELD HER CLOSE AND LOVED HER ALL I COULD
SHE TURNED HER FACE UPON ME AND I SAID “YOU ARE MY PRIZE”
AS SHE LOOKED UP AT ME I SAW MY MOTHER’S EYES
