  • I miss my father eyes

  • I miss my father eyes

  • his guitar just takes me away it is so relaxing

  • This song makes me miss my father all over again

  • I had the privilege of knowing my father for sixteen and a half years. He's with God now, but someday, when I am very old, I will be able to look into his eyes once more.

  • @norcalprogressive my father also met God when I was 16 and a half, 9 months ago.. I really miss his eyes

  • I guess everyone has their own opinions about what this song means but to me its not talking about his actual father, I think its him talking about God and needing His help with raising his son. But I might be wrong

  • @REDinstinct23 Amen

  • My father passed away in March of 2004. We buried him on my birthday. It was weird and unsettling to sign papers to bury someone with your same name. The pain has significantly subsided, but I can never again have a birthday without remembering James, Sr.

  • I cry when I listen to this song,Idk..my relationship with my father was alwasy rough..it seems so hard to please him,all I did was made him angry..Im so sorry father..I wish I was a better son..but Im and idiot..

  • @thetearjerker19 your not the only one struggling to have a relationship w/ their father. i have had so much trouble w/ it that i gave up on gaining my fathers approval years ago.

  • @misspatches2012 im 26 btw,so it makes a huge difference,but I feel a lot better now,I hope Im gonna make him proud someday..I really do,atleast before he dies.

  • @thetearjerker19 im 15 but then again my father wasn't there to see me grow up and become the person that i am today.

  • RIP Daddy :( 2-3-11 I miss you.

  • I love you daddy, I miss you more than anything in the world! I can't believe that it's been 20 years now that you're gone... :-(

  • Look into Jesus Eyes!

  • I recently lost my Dad last year. It has been harder than hell trying to pull my family back together again. I know that he loved me no matter what. I am everything because he loved me unconditionally. This song says it all, Another Great Tune Eric!!

  • I'm miss you Dad very badly

  • I want to have sex with Clapton's guitar.

  • FUCKING AWASOME

  • Ese slide-guitar suena a George Harrison

  • Someday, when our time comes to leave the earth, we'll be ready to face death and God will bring us to Heaven too so that we will be reunited again as one family.

  • God gave us the best miracle we could ever imagine, God took my father to be with Him in heaven so he won't get sick no more but to have eternal life in Heaven. Praise God Forever. Papa celebrated His Christmas and New Year in Heaven together with our Heavenly Father. He will always be remembered for he is present in our hearts, Papa please count on our prayers always. Papa we love you forever and beyond.

  • AMEN indeed!

  • Los Argentinos fanaticos al 100%

  • exelentisimo es el reyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy fasinante

  • ja da hasst du wohl recht !! sehr schööönnnnnn<3

  • YouTube community disappoints me yet again... When I type "M" into the search bar, I'm pretty sure it should know this is where I'm headed.

  • @BostonEMTParamedic You're totally right.You know what we get in Italy? Maroon 5 moves like jagger......... That's sad.

  • @uneposhoh A.M.E.N.

  • @uneposhoh But that's an awesome song! :p

  • @asylumsydney Not for me :D :D Anyway, the world is beatiful because it's various ;)

  • @asylumsydney no, not anymore.

    Far to over played.

  • He wrote this song because he never got to meet his father

  • @mikeshearer1250 And because his son Conor died at the age of 4 after falling from an apartment window, yeah.

  • @BostonEMTParamedic no its about his father, tears in heaven is for his son

  • @bigboned316 Hmm, that's funny because my father has talked to Eric twice, and he asked him the meaning of a few of his songs. And I just checked the wiki page for this song, too. It said that as well. I'd probably go with what Eric said to my father, but feel free to have your own beliefs.

  • ESTE TEMA ME RE ENCANTA ESTA BUENISIMO UNA VOZ ESPECTACULAR , LO QUIERO. LILIANA (ARGENTINA)

  • I am a father of eight. For those in pain. Every real father hopes the best for our children. We all forgive our children and love them no matter what.. We watch you grow and no matter, we know how are children are:) So those who are upset for what you say or have done, we will forgive and always be with you. I will always be there for my kids here or in the after. Thats always been our job!

  • @308Radar if only all fathers were like that. mine left when my twin brother and i were 7 months old. now, fifteen years later he wants me at his second wedding. im one of the very few daughters that has never dreamed of having my father walk me down the isle. and thats because of his actions towards me my brother and my mom when i was younger.

  • @308Radar Thank you

  • This is a really good song. I remember hearing this with my parents in the old minivan as a little kid, must have been 6 when this came out

  • the 12 who hate this r retarded sheep shaggers

  • parents are on higher position than GOD... i lost my mom and now my father needs me, i love my father... i love u Dad & Mom, thanks for bringing me in this world... my eyes are wet, sorry guys

  • @khemrajk1- God is the ultimate father for the fatherless. Whatever good your father did for you, God is able to do so much more by his infinite grace and love.

  • @boredone19 Thank You no one is saying ya all don't need and love your earthly father, just that God is our ultimate Father, and He's been here all along.

  • @khemrajk1 no need to be sorry my friend , you r human ,i know under normal circumstances we outlive our parents but it doesnt make it any easier . maybe GOD is the answer,i dont know

  • 12 people are ignorant/blind..... they need their father eyes

  • @tendales Make that 14 now........

  • A ja ją poprostu uwielbiam sluchać...tyle.

  • On 9/11, I played "My Father's Eyes" to honor the dead in New York, the Pentigon, and Stonycreek, Pennsylvania. I couldn't stop crying when it happened.

  • A classic. I've fallen in love with this one

  • One of the best tear-jerking songs ever! Cry almost every time I hear it.

  • Wow, If you need to down people's music, You need to better yourself at something in life. We don't hear you making songs, singing, or playing instruments. So if it makes you feel better to degrade people's hard work, That is sad. Hope you move on from commenting rude comments on GREAT SONGS (: Have a good day!

  • love it! :)

  • my love for you born to be eternal and beyond , Alex de mi Lisa ♪♥♪

  • all my respect and love for you september 19 ,is special day for you

    and forever sssgn

    E de Jong ♥♥♥♥♥

  • jjjj aaadddoooorrree!!!!!!! cette chanson met de bonne humeur!!!! merci monsieur Clapton et respect!!!!!!

  • This song is ok but it is not one of his best songs in my opinion.

  • Clapton.

  • Great Song!!!!!!

  • I love this song it reminds me of riding an elephant. They have the bells on their legs and they have a rythem of how they walk through the jungles. It is nice to be on an elephant sort in the front of the line. Miss riding my elephants. They are very wise animals. A real love never fails through time.

  • Amazing!!! I love you my father!!!Always, always, I remember your blue eyes!!! I love you Francisco !!!!!

  • GREAT SONG I LOVE THIS SONG GREAT PERFORMANCE BY ERIC THANK YOU ERIC FOR COMPOSING GREAT SONG

  • I've always loved this song (a little bit too much).Up to this day it still brings tears to my eyes. I had always said (when I was young) that I wanted to dance to this song with my father on my wedding night, although at the time I never knew my father...I just wish my deadbeat dad was someone I'd like to call father...I had always wanted to be able to really relate to this song whenever I heard it.

  • @eyecandyt I love hearing that from a father's point of view - as a man, there's no man - rich, political power or pro athlete that I would rather be around more than my father - that inspired me to want to be that way for my children, now 37,33 and 26 - I'd dance at your wedding...

  • <3

  • this is a great song i like it you really dont hear alot of good music now days but this is a hit

  • Superb comments,i,m sure Eric C would be happy should he see them.However, to add to the debate on the meaning of the lyrics .i believe you will find he,s singing about his Higher Power(God,to me and you) most of his lyrics are if you listen to them again...

  • What an excellent song

  • My dad even looks like Eric Clapton

  • I love my dad! I always think of him when I hear this song.

  • this song,reminds me of my dad the day he died in myself & my mothers arms at the yonng age of 40(13.05.85)

  • Comment removed

  • It is such a beautiful song when Eric speaks about his Creator. Father. 

  • Just a master piece!!!

  • he is such a great singer :)

  • Folks, sorry for any fucking stuffs on my post below but this is real.

  • This song is so crushing to a boy who loved his father even though he was an educated personbut a boozer to the core & a father who never loved his son but his son wanted his warmth all during his child hood & at times (rarely) really saw the love in his eyes & all I can say is that is that "my foundations with my father was made with clay which washed away in clay ". I still look into my father's eyes logically even after 5 years after his death.

    Restore my soul with this song

  • This song is actually written about his son, Conor, who had Eric's father's eyes, and that was the last thing he said to him before he died

  • Great song! Need more of this kind.

  • Comment removed

  • Soothing voice + soothing chords = Eric Clapton.

  • 11 people didn't look into their father's eyes.

  • @KillerDreck89 Maybe 11 people had crap dads! It happens.

  • A great singer always compose great songs. This song does make sense.

    (11 dislikes-bull's brain.)

    Thank you very much!

  • very nice 5 *****

  • Wow.. All those reactions.. they're really touching! I think it's good that people write about their problems, guess it makes it easier to go on. Music like this makes a lot of people listen and talk..

  • FENOMENAL SONG !...why PEOPLE don't LISTEN to real music !!! :((( I DON"T KNOW !!!!!! COME ON PPL WAKE UP.....I CAN'T UNDERSTAND why this beautiful music isn't appreciate.

    ERIC CLAPTON-one of the best singers.

  • @shapper01 Not just one of the best singers, also one of the best, I think even officialy the best guitarists.

  • My dad died today! He was only 51 year old.

    Love your parents no matter what! I was really bad son for him!

    Trust me - LOVE your parents from all your hart!

  • @gvidorama You are completely right! I lost my father almost 4 years ago and I wish I had told him: I love you! He was the best father someone could have. Love your parents no matter what!!!

  • @gvidorama My dad was 50 and died about 2 months ago. I agree with what you say. We have to love our family and show them how much you care. I'd give anything to have him back. I hope you are getting through your situation okay.

  • @gvidorama i am so sorry for your lost i lost my dad in jan he was only 56

  • @gvidorama Dont feel too bad the last thing i ever said to my dad was "shut up" cuz he was bugging me while i was sleeping. If i could take it back i would.

  • @gvidorama My father died when he was just 48....I wished I spent more time with him when he was around too...

  • @gvidorama sad thing is you dont know wot u miss till its gone,i lost my dad but he lived a long way away at the time ,10 years later it hit me and i miss him so much,can.t bring him back ! i feel guilty ,i think of him alot !!!! wot can i do ??

  • I never knew my dad. As a father of 8 all I hope is I have done well. That they can be better than me. All my girls and boys should hear this song, and someday when I pass and hope that they understand.

  • The videoclip is weird but the song is wonderful. Go Eric Clapton!! =D

  • Happy Father's Day everyone!!!

  • I also lost my father when i was 11 but when i hear this awesome song it reminds me all the good moments we had :)

  • Poignant.

  • Last year, I met a brother I never knew I had. He was raised in an orphanage. He never knew who his father was. He desperately searched the world for family and found us. We sang "Happy Birthday" to him as a family for the first time, and he burst into tears - I'll never forget that.

  • @blueheron11 Congratulation to your family. Be happy to make up for the day was lack. (tandungcn)

  • @tandungcn

    Thank you for the congratulations - my new brother is a special person, and I like him. He deserves to have a family and I'm happy to welcome him. I'm expecting a letter from him soon. He speaks German - so I have to get out the dictionary and work on communication. Thanks for the note!!!

  • @blueheron11 yeah right...

  • @blueheron11 thats great! always nice to hear something good.

  • Eric and Babyface. They did something great. I love this track so much.

  • Why did they put this in the Category Comedy lols?

  • My dad died today i had to here this. rip dad I love you

  • @freebirdmusic34 I'm sorry for your loss . . . I hope you have lots of good memories to treasure for the rest of your life. I recently managed to track down my father after he left before I was born (I'm 29 years old now). I was told that he didn't want to know me as he has his own family and life and that he's very happy without me . . . that is my only memory of my father . . . .

    Keep hold of your memories and never forget what a great dad you've had . . . . .

  • @freebirdmusic34 : Jeez , how awful, sorry to hear that. R.I.P.

  • @freebirdmusic34  :( I know how you feel my friend. With you in your tears!

  • My heart bleeds at 2:55

  • @freebirdmusic34 so,so sory.....

  • @freebirdmusic34: I'm so sorry to hear that. R.I.P.

  • @freebirdmusic34 My thoughts are with you mate. ll the very best to you and yours.  : )

  • such a beautifull song..

  • My father was just diagnosed with bladder cancer. Wish him well, guys!

  • @joeyman62995

    God help you and your family in this difficult time, i can't imagine how hard it must be

  • I hate to hear sad experiences of people who never knew their fathers. I knew mine. I loved him. He's not forgotten. Anything, and every step I take, I can look into the mirror. I see my fathers eyes, and his love for me.

  • this takes me back to being a kid again, when i was a toddler my parents used to play this all the time

  • My father had been terribly sick with leukemia and passed away sleeping on my lap last year... I miss him so much... I have completely been deserted since. Other than him I had no one in this world. I have never been close to my Mom or anyone else in my family and that makes things all the more difficult!!!

  • .

    .

    .

    Is Eric Claptooooooooooooooon! :D

  • I was on the bus comin back from my mates gig the other day. had been on the cola and was comin down. feeling a bit messed up. I really needed to talk to my dad. My father passed away six years ago. I cry to this song every single time.

  • Im not a fan of Eric Clapton, ive never thought much of any of his songs but this one is good.

  • This deserves not 300 thousand views, but 300 millions! 

  • Perdeu o pai e o filho. Por isso a musica é dedicada ao filho e ao pai dele.

  • I've always seen this song as being about God...

  • @TheShakespeareBlues omg, me too.

  • I'm not saying that I would have had it any other way but my father and I were very close. He passed away two days after my 34th B'day. I am now 12 years just beginning recover from the depression. The fact that I look exactly like him doesn't help as I am constantly reminded of this. Sometimes I think the more you know them the more it hurts when they are gone. I also glad I didn't have to find out how much it hurts to not ever to have known him.

  • they played this song at my dad's funeral when i was 8... its weird, this song is all i remember from the funeral

  • @eipirani I had tears in my eyes after reading this comment. Very sad.
