She’s got a laugh like summer rain Takes my hand when I’m in pain Just six years old, but wise somehow She don’t know what she does to me now She climbs up in that old porch swing Says Daddy let’s talk ‘bout anything But every time I look her way I see the one I lost that day She’s got her momma’s eyes, soft and kind Same sweet soul, same gentle shine When the world gets dark, they bring the light Just like her momma did every night I hold her close and realize She’s got her momma’s eyes That picture on the fireplace Still steals my breath, still stops my pace But her smile lives on in many ways Like ponytails and dandelion days Sometimes she’ll tilt her head just so Just like the woman I used to know And it breaks me down, but lifts me too It’s like she never really flew She’s got her momma’s eyes, soft and kind Same sweet soul, same gentle shine When the world gets dark, they bring the light Just like her momma did every night I hold her close and realize She’s got her momma’s eyes And when the storms roll through our door I thank the Lord for something more A little girl who walks beside The echo of my departed bride She’s got her momma’s eyes, soft and kind Same sweet soul, same gentle shine When I’m lost, they show me right Just like her momma did every night I kiss her head and thank the skies She’s got her momma’s eyes Yeah, heaven took her far too soon But left a light to guide me through In every smile, in every cry She’s got her momma’s eyes She's got her momma's eyes
