Her Eyes Gone are the eyes that watched me grow The eyes that were able to see into my soul Together we climbed mountains and made it through the pain Only to find out that someday it would be forever changed As you've gotten weaker, I've gotten stronger Able to take care of myself even though I didn't want to You'd be proud of my wit, my confidence and my charm People say I'm just like you and I know all about your charms The eyes are in my heart, the eyes that saw my soul But gone are the beautiful eyes, eyes that watched me grow.
