IT´S IN HIS EYES:

Mama, he asked me to go away with him & play,

“Why didn’t you child?”

Because it´s in his eyes & I knew I couldn’t stay.

 

Mama, he asked me to twirl away with him & dance,

“Why didn´t you child?”

Because it´s in his eyes & I couldn´t take that chance.

 

Mama, he asked me to marry him & to be his wife,

“Why didn´t you child?”

Because it´s in his eyes & would surely cause me strife.

 

Mama, he asked me to fly away upon the wings of swallows,

“Why did you child?”

Because it´s in his eyes & with him, that path, I would dearly follow.
