I may not be ev ’ry moth er’s dream for her lit tle girl,
and my face may not grace the mind of (G)ev ’ry one in the world.
But (Gmaj7)that’s al right as long as I can (Bm)have one wish I pray,
when (Bm7)peo ple look in side my life, I (Em7)want to hear them say:
She’s got her Fa ther’s eyes,
her (Fdim7)Fa ther’s eyes,
(Em7)eyes that find the good in things when (Gmaj7)good is not a round,
(Em7)eyes (F#m7)that (G)find (A)the (D)source (A)of (Bm)help when (E9sus)help just can’t be found,
(Gmaj9)eyes full of com pas sion,
(Gmaj9)see ing ev ’ry pain,
(Em7)know (F#m7)in’ (G)what (A)you’re (D)go (A)in’ (Bm)through and (E9sus)feel in’ it the same.
Just like my (D)Fa ther’s eyes,
my (C)Fa ther’s eyes,
my (B)Fa ther’s eyes,
just like my (D)Fa ther’s eyes.
On that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done,
and good and bad, they’ll all be had to (G)see by ev er y one.
And (Gmaj7)when you’re called to stand and tell just (Bm)what you saw in me,
when (Bm7)more than an y thing I know, I (Em7)want your words to be:
She had her Fa ther’s eyes,
her (Fdim7)Fa ther’s eyes,
(Em7)eyes that found the good in things when (Gmaj7)good was not a round,
(Em7)eyes (F#m7)that (G)found (A)the (D)source (A)of (Bm)help when (E9sus)help would not be found,
(Gmaj9)eyes full of com pas sion,
(Gmaj9)see ing ev ’ry pain,
(Em7)know (F#m7)in’ (G)what (A)you’re (D)go (A)in’ (Bm)through and (E9sus)feel in’ it the same.
Just like my (D)Fa ther’s eyes,
my (C)Fa ther’s eyes,
my (B)Fa ther’s eyes,
just like my (D)Fa ther’s eyes.
(D)Fa ther’s eyes,
my (C)Fa ther’s eyes,
my (B)Fa ther’s eyes,
just like my (D)Fa ther’s eyes.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Father's Eyes" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature D, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 112 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
