    Lyrics:
    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
    (Look into my father's eyes)
    My father's eyes
    When I look in my father's eyes
    (Look into 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 seedling grow
    Feel my heart start to overflow
    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
    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 look into my father's eyes

  • @billbinnings4347
    @billbinnings4347 Před 4 lety +772

    He never met his Father....Eric was the illegitimate son of a Canadian flyer who was in GB during the War...knocked-up his Mom, then returned to Canada. His young Mom then lived with her Mother and gave birth to Eric. As a cover story, Eric was raised to believe his Mom was his SISTER and that his Grandmother was his Mother !! So I believe his search for his Father will never be over...perhaps he wrote this song to "air" his pain relating to this life issue just as his "Tears in Heaven" was written to help him deal with the loss of his child Connor who died tragically. Our love of his great music is rooted in his life tragedies without which they would never have been written. He always has been a "Blues-Rocker" and a great song writer who has had MULTIPLE successful careers spanning literally more than 1/2 Century. Thanks man....you have made your mark with millions of loyal fans and WILL do it again with generations yet unborn.

      Beautifully written and thank you so much for sharing your heartwarming story... My father was an alcoholic and abused my mother and us 4 kids... I have been using my music therapy group on my msgr now and with that said I've been listening to rock and roll since I was 13yrs old it's my 1st love as is This Man...

      @joannajenkinsrobinson3418 Před 4 lety +26

      Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful thoughts on Eric he is a great gift from Our Father God I was abused by my alcoholic father until I was 13yrs old and never wanted to look into his eyes... Music is my therapy and rock is my heart 1st.
      I too have loved this man's musical talent.
      Have been listening to him since I was 13yrs old and never heard this song before and I was doing a top 5 guitarist on my music therapy group through msgr and of course Eric was there and I searched for the song choice I wanted to use and I don't believe in accidents or coincidence's...
      I believe God led me straight to this song and at first the title of course wasn't right but I listened to the lyrics and knew God and Eric who wrote the song flipped the script and I cried with love and joy with the most precious words of understanding exactly what they meant... I had already forgiven my father a long time ago and God has blessed me with 4 son's and plus 1 1/2 brother I helped raise and they are grown now ... My oldest is 43yrs and Christopher is in the Ellis Unit serving a long sentence for drugs that I know he would otherwise be dead... My heart is broken but I'm so grateful for his life and God's mercy on him... He has a son who just graduated and we have not seen since he was a child..
      Through the music and prayer warriors for our children all around the world I dedicated this song to them and played through out the day I tell you that again that prayers work by 9pm that night my grandson on msgr contacted me... I was overwhelmed with joy and love to hear from him and asking about his father, my son...
      I thank you Mr. Eric Clapton for your music that touches us in our hearts!!! We are all blessed by it through you and I say thank you for all you give of yourself with the precious talent through Our Father God in Jesus Christ name Amen... I apologize for the long reply as I have never done this before... I really enjoyed reading your words of his lifetime and would like to know more and read his autobiography too... Can you tell me the title please...

Met him in a pub in Asheville NC around 12 years ago. He spent around 1.5 hours with me and some friends. Was hanging with us for like 30 min. before I asked him name, since I had not recognized him. He was having a good time being just another bloke. Nice guy with no head up his ass.

    This guy is such a talent.His depth is incredible, especially his songwriting imo.Id say his guitar playing is what most think of first, but its his songwriting that really puts the icing on the cake for me.What a phenomenon this guy is!!

    I'm 40 years old, my father has been in prison my entire life. My mom's husband passed away on Thursday. Been able to navigate life well without a father, with that being said, be there for your children, thanks mom. Best guitar playing I've ever seen. You can tell how much not having a father meant to Eric

    Today is the day 1985 when my brother and I ran down 6th floor at Sunnybrooke Hospital....one minute after he passed....1985....My Dad and my best friend rest in peace and this song today and this post made me cry because I want to.

    That intro gives me goosebumps every time... Clapton is a god. I've been raised listening Eric Clapton, and I'm so thankful to my father for this.

    Thank you CZcams. Thank you Warner Records. I live in a country where I'd never hope, in my wildest dreams, to ever attend a concert as epic as this. Thank you for the rare opportunity to view Eric Clapton as if I was there.

    I have tried to explain to my kids...., yes, Van Halen is a wizard on the guitar, but he never had Eric's soul; that is why Clapton is so loved. What a great performance.

      Van Halen also wore leotards, further jeopardising their marketability once leotard wearing men were no longer considered tastefully fashionable.
