First Verse: Eric Clapton wishes he knew his dad. Second Verse: Eric Clapton discovers the joy of being a father. Third Verse: Eric Clapton grieves over the death of his son.
Sorry to hear. Rest In Peace to your beloved father. I also lost my father at the age of 70 in 2017, a very short sudden battle with Geoblasthoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. When we were told about his diognosis, i had this song running through my mind when presented with the numb emotions me and my mother (and family circle) were going through. This song has a sentimental value for sure. Again may your father rest in eternal peace :)
I love this song. I LOST MY FATHER AT 2 YEARS OLD. I never saw my father's face. Today, at age 42, I would give anything in my life to see my father and be able to hug him and say how much I missed him. I do not remember him. I would like to remember. I never had another father or stepfather. I spent my childhood believing I could see my father again. I cried until I got used to the idea that it was true. If you have a dad, hug him and say you love him before you can no longer see him! I love you dad!
No doubt! I believe Chyna Whyne is one of them, others I don't know. I can remember telling my dad how perfect the background vocalists were on this song when it was popular in 1998.
Дай Бог здоровья и долгих лет жизни всем папам, кто любит своих детей! 😭😭😭😭А я слушал эту песню в России, когда мне было 12 лет-это было в 1997 году. Спасибо Эрик, что ты есть и что ты создал такую замечательную песню 👍👍😘😘😘 Люди всего мира будьте счастливы!)))) С любовью из России 🤘😊
The first time I heard this song, in 1998, I was shocked. It still moves me after all these years. The comments are also heartbreaking. Thank you all very much.
This was actually popular in 1998. I remember seeing this on vh1, and just thinking about how it stood out from the pop scene. This was the first time I had ever seen or heard Eric Clapton.
Not often we associate classic rockers, like Clapton, with the God-inspired message many Christian artists have composed and performed. But this lyric surely has that perspective. Amy Grant years earlier had a simpler and somewhat similar message: "Father's Eyes".
Those of you that have lost a father, listen to this. Had me breaking. You never know how lucky you are when you still have your fathers. RIP Jan Pirog, I love and miss you
Both parents had hard lives. Taken to Siberia 1939 the dad served in the 1st Polish armoured division while mum was slave labour in Germany. They did well to live like they did. Yes all of us die but this was not a point I was making, my point was about loss. We all lose people and some of us take it harder than others
It's nice when you have lyrics nearby 🎵🎶 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. My father's eyes. When I look in 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. My father's eyes. That's when I need my father's eyes. 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 looked into my father's eyes. My father's eyes. I looked into my father's eyes. My father's eyes. My father's eyes. My father's eyes. I looked into my father's eyes. My father's eyes.
I lost my father at 5 o'clock this morning. Thank you Eric Clapton for such a wonderful song for me to listen to and share with others. I miss you Daddo. I hope you are reunited with your parents and brother and they welcomed you in a loving embrace. Xoxoxo.
My dad died at 65 but would have lived longer had it not been for his lifelong heavy smoking. Him and mom split 18 years earlier (mom later admitted the divorce was a colossal mistake) We had our problems and tiffs until I left home and after that we had many good talks. I miss those !!
May ALLAH SWT give His blessings to my late Father Tuan Haji Ahmad Bin Ibrahim and to all of us who had lost our fathers.. May all of them will be in Jannatul Firdausi (Heaven).. Aaminn 😢😢😢😢💚💚💚💚
My father died while he was still alive. Alcohol took him from me. I was devastated. One day, I ll look into his beautiful blue eyes and tell him .. ‘I forgave you .. long ago’ .. RIP. 💞.
My father passed away 10 years ago. This song reminds me of him. I miss him so much & I hope we meet again... This song is one of my immortal songs. Eric Great Job.
I remember playing this song all the time at the end of my drinking. I would just cry. There wasn't much light in my despair at that time but this song was light to me. Thanks for all, forever, Eric. Jim R. R.
The entire pilgrim album carried me through my darkness... I made it out of the abyss thanks to God. I always treasure Eric's exceptional gift! ..and glad he has a good life and family now...
@@lauriegardner8135 Yes! I feel the same way you do.. I was lucky enough to see Cream in July, 1968. He was always an inspiration for my playing guitar but much deeper, an inspiration for my recovery. To you, Laurie, Peace.
I've been listening this song a lot lately, because my father died almost two weeks ago at the age of 67. The funerals are just in few days from now. Really good and how do you say it, touchy song (?) Goodbye dad, I'll miss you forever. Rest in peace.
This is an incredible song! How much talent can one man have? Not only is he one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time, he can sing anything. This is a masterpiece and, in my view, Eric's best.
My father is the rock of our family. Never waivers...never fails us. My grandfather was the same way. To bad most men now a days know nothing about being a real man...
My Father passed away yesterday.... Rest peaceful my Father. Thank you for all you've done for me. I love you, and you will be deeply missed. Until we see each other again, may God keep you in his arms. You've gained your wings. Love you Gilbert Bentley Sr.
Just learned that this song has connection with "Tears in Heaven"...it's about the same thing, Clapton's son who died at four... what a twist, I mean lot of people thought this song about Clapton's father who he never saw...but its about how Clapton connected to his lost father by looking his lost son eyes. Moreover, the catchy rhythm is very opposite with melancholic melody of "Tears in Heaven" makes it more unique. salute to Mr.Clapton
my Dad died in 1990 at 52 years old of cancer i was 7 and i remember that day like it was yesterday. im now 33 with a 6 year old son and 3 month old daughter not a day goes by that i don't wish he was here i could sure use his advice. im lucky to have my brother in law and Father in law to i guess fill in its nice but still wish i had my dad Rest in Peace Clifford Carl Shaffer 5/11/1938 8/9/1990
Dave Shaffer, I know how u feel. I lost my dad to cancer also. Every now and then I think of him and it's songs like this that makes me cry 😖. Hold on to ur memory of him. It's cathartic 😃✌.
J'ai eu la chance, le bonheur de connaître mon Papa.....Les yeux de mon Papa sont remplis d'amour, de bonté.....Il est parti il y a un an.....Tu es l'homme le plus merveilleux que je puisse connaître. Tu me manques atrocement Papa. Je t'aime. Bon courage à tous et à toutes. 🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢💗💗💗
It's been 25 years since you passed, Dad, and I still think "I have to ask Dad" when I need help with understanding something. I miss you so much. Now Mom is there with you. I love you both so much!
This song gives me goosebumps. Everything from the change in key after the guitar playing and Eric starts singing. This song just has so much depth. The lyrics, what they say. We all can think of our fathers and how important they are in our lives. Eric has a way of writing meaningful lyrics and putting them to a wonderful melody.
i lost my father 9 years ago today Clapton was one of his favorite artist this song reminds me of him so much. I don't know why people say it gets easier with time cause it doesn't seem to to me. I love you dad one day we will see each other again
hard to believe its already 20 yrs. ago....such sadness to it, guitar sounds like its crying ! back/up vocals are fantastic....i can feel it, hes singing about his son.... heart felt lyrics....sadness ....
Everytime I hear this song, it reminds me of all the sacrifices and hard work my father did to support me, my mother and sister. I came close to losing my dad twice but no matter what, he continues to be a fighter and a great man. I may never turn out to be like him, but all I can do is try.
I looked into my father's eyes and saw a man who loved me. With all his being as a man but never quite new how to show me the way i adored him fir giving me the freedom to be an individual with compassion for others and animal's a like i saw many things and felt even more hes gone now but i still see my fathers eyes miss ya every day. Love your Baby girl💋🌹
I remember listening to this song with my dad. He always loved Eric. I would give anything thing to speak to my dad one last time. Eric Clapton is, and always will be one of the most recognised and loved musicians of all time, without a doubt! Thanks for the upload! :)
My father was a military intel officer...and post the 9-11 incident he lost his mind...went completely out of it...im not sure what he knew or what happened, but to this day this song still keeps a smile on my face...and someone how keeps me moving...so even as i conduct my job on a daily basis and wish he was still here.....this song some how helps...good post ...
14 years without the light that guided me. Dad,...I want you to know I'm doing fine...and hoping still that some day, I get to see and race that white '75 Mustang fastback you've been parading in my dreams. With a Mustang of my own of course.
I was going to see EC live on the Pilgrim tour with my father, but sadly he passed away before the gig. Needless to say this song is VERY important to me...
So many people who come here seem to do so after having lost heir fathers... same here. So many heartfelt comments. Thank you Eric Clapton ... of all your works of art, this one has a special place in our hearts..
Amazing song. The last time I've listen to it I was 16, 19 years ago. I was alone in a waiting room and my father had just died, this video was playing in a tv. I thought it would make me sad, but just made me think about my dad, and what an amazing guy he was.
Rest In Peace Daddy! You were everything a man can be, everything a dad can be to his children, his family, and to his fellow man. I miss you so much! We all miss you so much!! Thanks so much Eric for making this song!
this song always reminds me of my dad,,he still alive but in his 70s but an amazing man who has gone through a lot and I look up to him so much for so many things..so much of a hard life I had to live and my dad was always their protect me and try not to have me exposed to hurt or disappointment..but he found that as I grew up no matter how much he protected me hurt and dissapointments would come and I had to take them in and deal with them but when I looked at him he always gave me those loving and comforting eyes.and always the warm big hug I get that would make me feel safe all over again. wish that could last forever but it doesn't. but I am lucky to still have my dad to this day,. I am greatful for that.
never really looked into my fathers's eyes.So when i hear this song i wish i had.Clapton lost his son and poured his heart out on this song besides tears in heaven
#EricClapton, Father's play a major role in the life of their children, just like mothers. My dad taught me valuable lessons that i will never forget, including my love of music of all genres. Thank you daddy 🙂😘🎸🎹🎷🥁🪘🎻❤️💖💙💜
This song makes remember fondly about my Father!! But the music and Quality Helps me to RELAX and REFOCUS!!! The melody and tempo gets into my SOUL!! and REJUVENATES Me!!!! and makes me Feel GOOD in these Troubling times!!! And Eric Clapton Is one of the FINEST Singers and Guitarists of our ERA!!!! TRUE Music Pioneer!!!!!
and THIS WHAT I CALL MUSIC!!! im in a different country for 3years now and i didnt see my father since then..i miss him alot... and my mate put this song on or way to Edinburgh and i was listening to it and i start crying... :(( Eric ..GOD bless you
First Verse: Eric Clapton wishes he knew his dad.
Second Verse: Eric Clapton discovers the joy of being a father.
Third Verse: Eric Clapton grieves over the death of his son.
He had his way to find that in his earlier years.
Problem was he was so wasted with heroin and booze....
Jackson Rushing very nicely put
Yeah
You can clearly see in the 3rd verse how it’s effecting him.
I think the final verse was when he found his heavenly father...God
Lost my dad when I was ten. Picked up the guitar when I was 13, and this song came out right about that time. Thanks Eric!
deus no omando aqui
4 weeks ago my father passed away unexpectedly at the age of 64.
Clapton was one of his favorites of all time. Rest in Love Dad 💙
Sorry to hear. Rest In Peace to your beloved father.

My father passed away late last month. He was 50. I miss ya, dad.
I hear ya. Mine was 52. He really liked this song

What beautiful words
My mother is still alive she she is enough 🌼🙏🏽
Go bless.
Well I really can't say that because, I had a piece of shit for a father!
The backing singers are incredible. This is the real deal
Because they are black right? You wouldn't have said that if they were white, right?
No doubt! I believe Chyna Whyne is one of them, others I don't know. I can remember telling my dad how perfect the background vocalists were on this song when it was popular in 1998.
Seen him twice in concert. Had the same back up singers
@Deimos000 That's why it sounds good. If they were white it would've flavorless af
The dobro heard during the interlude, between verses 2 and 3.
This song is pure gold

I feel dumb. All these years I thought he was saying "looking for my paradise" but he's actually saying "look into my father's eyes."

1998 was still the year of much great music. Hard to imagine something like this song being populart on their airwaves today. How we have fallen

It's nice when you have lyrics nearby 🎵🎶
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.
My father's eyes.
When I look in 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.
My father's eyes.
That's when I need my father's eyes.
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 looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Thanks bro
Thanx from Rome

Love you Dad, you are greatest dad ever
Merci pour cette Magnifique Chanson Mr Clapton.💖💖💖
This song gives off R&B vibes. It's my favorite song by eric
This is an incredible song! How much talent can one man have? Not only is he one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time, he can sing anything. This is a masterpiece and, in my view, Eric's best.
Because of his skill on the the guitar we tend to forget how his excellent voice can convey intense emotion.
Amen brother
A rare voice
Being a young father, the second verse really moves me to tears. So relatable. So beautifully written.
Who is listening to this in 2020?
I need my fathers eyes 💔 R.I.P daddy Ali i love you my bestfriend
It has been six years since my father's passing. I miss him every day. This song brings so many memories to mind. Miss you, dad.
Hey my good brother or sister, u need only to look into the mirror, u will be looking into your father's eyes.

I'm sorry for your loss
I wore out this cd after my own father passed away. All I can say is thank god for this song.
This song is such a tearjerker, though there is a great consoling message
One of the best tear-jerking songs ever! Cry almost every time I hear it.

hard to believe its already 20 yrs. ago....such sadness to it, guitar sounds like its crying ! back/up vocals are fantastic....i can feel it, hes singing about his son.... heart felt lyrics....sadness ....
Everytime I hear this song, it reminds me of all the sacrifices and hard work my father did to support me, my mother and sister. I came close to losing my dad twice but no matter what, he continues to be a fighter and a great man. I may never turn out to be like him, but all I can do is try.

Gran canción
Thank you for my Two Fathers! Dad on Earth and God in Heaven!✝️
Beautiful metaphor for the Holy Father Creator of All things.
This song will always hit home. Thankful to grow up off of this one.
I looked into my father's eyes and saw a man who loved me. With all his being as a man but never quite new how to show me the way i adored him fir giving me the freedom to be an individual with compassion for others and animal's a like i saw many things and felt even more hes gone now but i still see my fathers eyes miss ya every day.

Without a doubt
Meaningful lyric, beautiful voices, wonderful music.
Just a perfect song.
The song is liquid gold 👌
I'm estranged from my father... I've only met him 3 times... I'm drawn to songs relating to fathers. This song gets me every time.
I'm estranged from my son. I feel your pain.
I love this song and would like to hear it thousands of times.
Beautiful song😌👍💋
My father was a military intel officer...and post the 9-11 incident he lost his mind...went completely out of it...im not sure what he knew or what happened, but to this day this song still keeps a smile on my face...and someone how keeps me moving...so even as i conduct my job on a daily basis and wish he was still here.....this song some how helps...good post ...
He knew that it was all fabricated, orchestrated, propaganda.. I hope you read this comment today and know that Jesus is the only way..
I dedicate this song to my father.

May Allah have mercy your soul, dad. I love you.
14 years without the light that guided me. Dad,...I want you to know I'm doing fine...and hoping still that some day, I get to see and race that white '75 Mustang fastback you've been parading in my dreams.
With a Mustang of my own of course.
I was going to see EC live on the Pilgrim tour with my father, but sadly he passed away before the gig. Needless to say this song is VERY important to me...

So sorry for your loss at past years

What a beautiful song
Ba ơi giờ ba ở đâu? Con nhớ ba....rất nhiều!trên đời này con chỉ còn lại một mình
Beautifully arranged song. Eric's playing and the backing vocals compliment so well.
I grew up with this song...I will never stop listening to this song.
So many people who come here seem to do so after having lost heir fathers... same here. So many heartfelt comments.
Thank you Eric Clapton ... of all your works of art, this one has a special place in our hearts..
Amazing song. The last time I've listen to it I was 16, 19 years ago. I was alone in a waiting room and my father had just died, this video was playing in a tv. I thought it would make me sad, but just made me think about my dad, and what an amazing guy he was.
im only 25 and this song brings back memories of my dad R.I.P
Rest In Peace Daddy! You were everything a man can be, everything a dad can be to his children, his family, and to his fellow man. I miss you so much! We all miss you so much!! Thanks so much Eric for making this song!
Undoubtedly some of Clapton's finest work........indescribably beautiful song...!!!
Я всегда любил эту песню, но после смерти отца она стала для меня культовой. Спасибо Эрик, за такой шедевр!
My father died in 1972. just 50 years ago. I never forgot him. I think my life is a run at the end of it I hope I'll see him again

Know the feeling. Lost my dad in January.
this song is great, clapton is a genius with a guitar!!
My old man is still alive and well but left my mother for another 😢
Breaks my heart. This song remimds me of them
this song always reminds me of my dad,,he still alive but in his 70s but an amazing man who has gone through a lot and I look up to him so much for so many things..so much of a hard life I had to live and my dad was always their protect me and try not to have me exposed to hurt or disappointment..but he found that as I grew up no matter how much he protected me hurt and dissapointments would come and I had to take them in and deal with them but when I looked at him he always gave me those loving and comforting eyes.and always the warm big hug I get that would make me feel safe all over again. wish that could last forever but it doesn't. but I am lucky to still have my dad to this day,. I am greatful for that.
never really looked into my fathers's eyes.So when i hear this song i wish i had.Clapton lost his son and poured his heart out on this song besides tears in heaven
He loves you with all his heart inside n out, his son loves you 8'$
