Mama's Eyes

I've heard that I'm a spitting image There's some pictures where I get it Light brown hair and olive skin Swear I could be her back then Crooked smile and sense of humor Early to parties, kinda late bloomers Had several people say I'm a little more like her each day Got a lot in common, but there is One thing I've always wanted, that I know I didn't get I wish I had my mama's eyes Those hazel ones that find silver linings And always see the bigger plan Sees the woman that I can't Seem to see looking through mine Oh, I wish I had my mama's eyes That's why I pick up the phone and call her She makes every mountain smaller Says, "You're stronger than you think" While cleaning dishes in the kitchen sink If I saw things from her point of view There wouldn't be anything I couldn't get through Yeah, I wish I had my mama's eyes Those hazel ones that find silver linings And always see the bigger plan Sees the woman that I can't Seem to see looking through mine Oh, I wish I had my mama's eyes I hope it's something that I'll grow into But I'll keep looking through hers 'til I do Yeah, I wish I had my mama's eyes Those hazel ones that find silver linings And always see the bigger plan Sees the woman that I can't Seem to see looking through mine Oh, I wish I had my mama's eyes I wish I had my mama's eyes
