First Stanza

We are at our daughter’s wedding
You and I on her big day
Strolling down the aisle together
On each arm she leads our way
With an inner calm and radiance
She knows just what to say

Oh Lord, I can see you in her eyes

Since we brought her home in diapers
You were there to guide her path
Whether taking her to preschool
Or to help her with her bath
And then when she got older
You would quiz her on her math

Oh Lord, I can see you in her eyes

Refrain

I see you in her eyes!
In her care you took the lead
I see you in her eyes!
Of so much you were the seed
In her warm embrace
Of the human race,
Of her friends and those in need
Oh my love, I see you in her eyes

Second Stanze

You would always be the parent
First to volunteer at school
Or to be a Girl Scout leader
Even when it wasn’t cool
Showing how to do the right things
How to make and follow rules

Oh Lord, I can see you in her eyes

Our baby’s all grown up now
With the lessons you’ve instilled
She lives her life in balance
Energetic and fulfilled
The fine woman she’s become now
You have helped so much to build

Oh Lord, I can see you in her eyes

Refrain

I see you in her eyes!
In her care you took the lead
I see you in her eyes!
Of so much you were the seed
In her warm embrace
Of the human race,
Of her friends and those in need
Oh my love, I see you in her eyes

My love, I see you in her eyes

Your reflection, right there in her eyes
