You Can Never Do Wrong in a Mother's Eye Lyrics

You can never do wrong in a mother's eyes,
No matter what you may do,
She will always forgive any wrong you've done,
And she'll open her warm heart to you.
Though you've been the cause of her tears she's cried,
When you've strayed the straight narrow path,
Oh you can never do wrong in a mother's eyes,
For she sees her son through her heart.

She knelt by her bed many lonely nights,
While waiting for you to come home,
And prayed to the Lord to keep you right
And guard you wherever you roam.
Though you're not the man that you might have been,
And you feel ashamed of your past.
Oh you can never do wrong in a mother's eyes,
For she sees her son through her heart.

[Spoken by Slim and sung by Joy in unison]:
A careless mistake can bring you shame,
And troubles just hang over you,
And a father might say you've disgraced the name,
But the love of a mother stays true,
Although you've been careless with Cupid's bow,
And you falsely directed his dart.
Oh you can never do wrong in a mother's eyes,
For she sees her son through her heart.
You can never do wrong in a mother's eyes,
For she sees her son through her heart.
