V1: When mom and dad were fighting
When money was real scarce
When I lost my part-time job
And Hell broke loose down here
When I needed somebody
To talk to at night
I took out your picture
And held onto it tight

R: Cause your blue eyes
Told me not to cry
And your big smile
Said everything will be alright
Thinking of you
I know it’s true
And all because I looked into your eyes

_V2:_Sixteen years old
As I walk into the room
Of my brand-new baby
I don’t have a clue
What’s gonna happen
With my son and with school
But the tears stop falling
When you walk into the room

R*

V3: Now we have a family
A dog and a house
But you’re lying in the hospital
And the tears start pouring out
I don’t want you to leave me
But I guess this is goodbye
I don’t know what’ll happen
But I know that I’ll be fine

R*
Yeah, I’m so glad I looked into your eyes
