One bright and guiding light That taught me wrong from right I found in my mother's eyes. Those baby tales, those baby tales she told That the roads are paved with gold I found in my mother's eyes Just like a wandering sparrow One lonely soul I'm walking on, I'm walking on the straight and narrow To reach, to reach, reach my goal God's gift, God's gifts sent down from above A real unselfish love I found it in my mother's eyes.
