Alcoholic

Don't you know you've got your daddy's eyes.
Daddy was an alcoholic.
But your mother kept it all inside,
threw it all away.
I was looking for another you
and I found another one.
I was looking for another you,
when I looked round, you were gone.

Stand by my side and the pipe dream is yours now.
Stand by my side and the singer won't get in our way.

Don't you know you've got your daddy's eyes.
And daddy was an alcoholic.
But your mother kept it all inside,
threw it all away.
I was looking for another you
and I found another one.
I was looking for another you
when I looked round, you were gone.

Stand by my side and the pipe dream is yours now.
Stand by my side and the cynics won't get in our way.

Don't you know you've got your daddy's eyes.
Daddy was an alcoholic.
But your mother kept it all inside,
threw it all away.
I was looking for another chance
to see your blue-eyed problem.
