Chord Progression: Am G F G ( Throughout the whole song)

Chorus
Am                                     G
Your Momma’s eyes still make me cry
F                               G
I look at them as the day goes by
Am                                          G
They remind me of a woman I loved then
F                                  G   Am       
A woman I will never see again

Verse
Well I remember I was seventeen
You had the prettiest eyes I’d ever seen
We went out on a date then back to your home
That’s when your parents met your future groom
I looked at your folks and then I realized
You had your momma’s eyes

Verse
But your momma didn’t see you walk down the isle
The Lord took her one day in July
But as I stood there to give my vows
I said to in front of the crowd
I’ll marry you, girl don’t cry
I said this looking in your momma’s eyes

Chorus
Your Momma’s eyes still make me cry
I look at them as the day goes by
They remind me of a woman I loved then
A woman I will never see again

Verse
When she told me the news it was late at night
I’ll never forget the look in her eyes
Those pearls of green mixed with blue
There aint another like them there are only two
She said honey we’re gonna have a child
We made love…that night was wild

Verse
Nine months later at a table for two
I seen a look in those eyes of blue
She baby its time to go
But the baby wasn’t ready she was taking it slow
And on the way something went wrong
Those pretty blue eyes were closed too long

Chorus
Your Momma’s eyes still make me cry
I look at them as the day goes by
They remind me of a woman I loved then
A woman I will never see again

Verse
I took me a while to understand why
A mother had to die to save the child
But the baby was sleeping as I was weeping 
I went to the crib and as I did
She woke up and I cried
She had her momma’s eyes

Chorus
Your Momma’s eyes still make me cry
I look at them as the day goes by
They remind me of a woman I loved then
A woman I will never see again

That’s it tell me what you think
