In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes, I am a hero

I am strong and wise, and I know no fear

But the truth is plain to see, she was sent to rescue me

I see who I want to be, in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes, everyone is equal

Darkness turns to light, and the world is at peace

This miracle God gave to me, gives me strength when I am weak

I find reason to believe, in my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger,

always puts a smile in my heart

Everything becomes a little clearer,

I realize what life is all about

It's hanging on when your heart has had enough,

it's giving more when you feel like giving up

I've seen the light, it's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes, I can see the future

A reflection of who I am, and what will be

And though she'll grow and some day leave, maybe raise a family

When I'm gone I hope you'll see, how happy she made me

For I'll be there, in my daughter's eyes

Denna fantastiskt vackra låt sjöng jag för Amanda på hennes dop, och den hade vi spelandes på CD under Felices dopfika. En av de vackraste låtar jag vet.
