INNOCENT EYES
Copyright ©2004 Shayne Vaughan

Verse 1
Friday evening I knock on their door
Little Adam lets me in
His mother Mary is packing his clothes
And the toys he'll need this weekend
I grab him up and hold him tight
Turn my head so he won't see Daddy cry
It always breaks my heart in two
When I look in his Innocent Eyes

Verse 2
Adam waves as we drive away
Mary's tears start to flow
She slowly turns and walks back inside
Then he asks, "Why can't Mommy go?"
I just say she has things to do
'Cause he's too young to understand why
It always breaks my heart in two
When I look in his Innocent Eyes

Bridge:
I'll tell him the story someday
Why Mary chose not to stay
Her lonely nights were too long
My working late was hitting home
I still wish I could change things someway

Verse 3
Sunday evening we knock on her door
Mary forces a smile
I kiss Adam "bye", then he looks at me
Saying, "Daddy, can't you stay awhile?"
I grab him up and hold him tight
Turn my head so he won't see Daddy cry
It always breaks my heart in two
When I look in his Innocent Eyes
Sweet Innocent Eyes
