This song, by Eric Clapton is from his Pilgrim
album,� an elegy for both the father he never knew and his late son Conor, who was so movingly
memorialized with "Tears In Heaven."
"My Father's Eyes", sees Clapton lamenting his loss and 'praying for the healing rain' to 'restore my soul again.'� He offered an explanation for the song� that also captures the mood of the album as a whole. "I had a kind of revelation about my son.� It's a very
personal matter, but I never met my father and
realized that the closest I ever came to� looking into my father's eyes was when I� looked into my son's eyes.� So, I wrote this song about that.� It's a strange kind of cycle thing that occurred to me and another thing I felt I would like to share."
