Tenille Arts - Mama's Eyes Lyrics

I've heard that I'm her 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 kind of 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
