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 bar

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...
