Mel Tillis - Your mothers eyes

^CMy children come sit here and ^G7hold to daddy's ^Chands For I must tell you something that ^D7I don't under^G7stand

^FLately we've been living in the ^Cshadows of sur^Fprise Since ^CI'm not the only man ^G7in your mother's ^Ceyes

I can't say it's my fault and ^G7I won't say it's ^Chers Cause I might have neglected when ^D7her need for me oc^G7curred

^FBut we're still a family and ^Cmust rea^Flize That ^CI'm not the only man ^G7in your mother's ^Ceyes

^FNo I'm not the ^G7only man in ^Fher eyes any^Cmore And ^D7soon she'll be leaving ^G7walking out the door

And ^Cthings won't be easy ^G7with her not a^Cround And the shame that's now with us ^D7will be hard to live ^G7down

^FSo children bear with me ^Cpromise daddy you'll ^Ftry Since ^CI'm not the only man ^G7in your mother's ^Ceyes

Since I'm not the only man ^G7in your mother's ^Fe-y^Ces
