Through the Eyes of a Child

{verse-1} I got home last night at four Found the door open wide and when I shut and locked the door I stumbled over something inside As I searched for the light I heard my baby girl say Daddy I'm alone here tonight Mommy lays there and won't wake up {verse-2} Then I felt her little arms Squeeze tight around my leg She said Mommy wasn't feeling good And went to sleep there on the floor And as the tears fell from eyes My baby girl said, It's alright Daddy Mommy will be up soon, I'm sure That's when I fell to pieces {Chorus} Through The eyes of a child To young to understand Through the eyes of a child How can I tell her Mommy's gone {verse-3} Then I told her Mommy went to heaven And that God didn't need her body She looked at me confused And said Then Mommy's not up there Then a hand touched my hand And a voice said let me try Then my baby girl turned to me And said Daddy, I still have you {chorus} Through The eyes of a child To young to understand Through the eyes of a child Grew up 'fast when Mommy died
