She gave up a child for adoption due to a teen pregnancy several years ago. Spent her whole life wondering what might have been. Lyrics Eyes Like MinePublished by timothymichaelmusic.com14 JAN 2024V1I laced up those blue tennis shoesAnd wiped my tears onto my sleeveI knew I had to go that dayBut it was so damn hard to leaveI kept that t-shirt from your birth dayThe last time that I last held youThis Teddy Bear’s from your grandmaThat I’d love to give to youChorusIt’s a mother’s love that let you goAnd I hope now you can seeThat this mother’s love’s still growingEven though you’re not with meI’d love to meet you sometimeBut, I’m afraid to cross the line.Would I know you if I saw you?Do you have dark eyes like mine?V2.Are you happy with the life you have?I bet you’re everything I dreamed.When we take our family photographsI feel you right here next to me.I wear that T-shirt on your birthdaySo I can smell you once againI know someday there’ll be a timeWhen I’ll hold you and not pretendChorusIt’s a mother’s love that let you goAnd I hope now you can seeThat this mother’s love’s still growingEven though you’re not with meI’d love to meet you sometimeBut, I’m afraid to cross the line.Would I know you if I saw you?Do you have dark eyes like mine?BridgeI still believe in that decisionI pray adoption did you rightBut wondering where you might be right nowKeeps me up so late at night½ ChorusI’d love to meet you sometimeBut, I’m afraid to cross that line.Would I know you if I saw you?Do you have dark eyes like mine?Would I know you if I saw youDo you have dark eyes like mine?
