《父亲的眼神》是美国歌手艾里克-克莱普顿（Eric Clapton）1999年格莱美获奖歌曲。人生三大不幸Eric就占了两样，少年丧父、老年丧子。人生的不幸经历却成就了他两首传世经典曲目。另一首就是我们熟悉的《泪洒天堂》（Tears In Heaven）。——失去父亲的孩子，无依无靠，就像航行在黑暗无边的海面，等待救赎。在悔过的泪水中渐渐懂得，爸爸的爱一直就在身旁……
My Father's Eyes
Eric Clapton
Sailing down behind the sun, waiting for my prince to come
Praying for the healing rain to restore my soul again
Just a toerag on the run. How did I get here? What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise? How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes, my father's eyes
When I look in my father's eyes, my father's eyes
Then the light begins to shine and I hear those ancient lullabies
And as I watch this seedling1 grow, feel my heart start to overflow2
Where do I find the words to say? How do I teach him? What do we play?
Bit by bit I've realized that's when I need them
That's when I need my father's eyes, my father's eyes
That's when I need my father's eyes, my father's eyes
Then the jagged edge appears through the distant clouds of tears
I'm like a bridge that was washed away; my foundations were made of clay
As my soul slides down to die. How could I lose him? What did I try?
Bit by bit I've realized that he was here with me
I looked into my father's eyes, my father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes, my father's eyes
My father's eyes. My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes, my father's eyes
