Just lost my father a few hours ago. This is the first song I wanted to hear. He used to play this song all the time when I was young and I with him all the time. As I got older, careers, life, and family of my own I barely got to see him. I have so much regret and hurt for not making more time to see him. The pain is heavy right now. Love you Dad!
When my dad finally passes this is the first song I'm going to hear I'm even going to try to convince the family to play it while we take his coffin out into the hearse
I never had a father when I was born...he and my mother gave me up when I was about 2 months old to drugs and sex and other things and my whole life I never had those figures in my life and now that I’m 18 almost 19...it has never hit me harder and this song hits me so so deep cause I never got to have a father to teach me how to play catch or throw a football or any of that. I just wish I could look in his eyes and know that he loves me but he wants nothing to do with me and now I’m going off to college and he never told me one time my entire life he was proud of me nor my mother. I’m so grateful my grandmother raised me to the man I am today.
Bad things will happen to good people, and we can't choose wether they happen to us or not... But be proud of who you are and what you've accomplished. You have people who love you and are proud of you too, and I'm sure you'll be a great father to your kids, if you ever have them.
Sorry for your loss man, I just lost my pops on jan 6 24, he just turned 60 on New years eve, it will be 38 years until I'm 60, then the years after I have no choice but to spend without him 😢
No intention to belittle you guys at all, and it really sucks when your dad goes. We all do of course. He ain't in heaven btw, or hell for that matter. The dude will be everywhere all the time, and you can bet your bottom dollar he will not forget who you are.
Yesterday august 11, my father would be 100 years old. I was driving and then I listened to this beautiful song on the radio, and I prayed for him, and I said "father I love you". And I am crying right now. God bless him.
Lost my dad in 99.he was 52 years young.this song always makes me cry.not a day goes by i don't miss him.last month I lost my mom.so always appriciate your parents cuz one day they will be gone
I think the last time I heard this song was when I was 6 or 7. I was crying (over the loss of my grandfather) and my daddy stopped at a gas station to hold me in his arms when this song was playing. 12-13 years later, I'm listening to this song and reminded of my dad, whose been dead for almost 6 years now and I cry thinking of how tenderly he held me. We may not have had the best relationship, but this song reminds me of how much I actually miss him.
Never a time when I hear this song, when my eyes don't get watery thinking of my old man, miss him greatly and literally taught me everything there is to know on how to be a Man, from working hard for what you got, to love and protect your wife and kids. Only lesson he didn't teach me is living without him, and his guidance. He prepared me to find the light at the end of the tunnel, but not live with out him, he was my Hero, my best friend, and my confidant and voice of reasoning. I hope one day my kids remember me just like the way I remember my old man. Those of you that still have your dad, cherish him and let him know how much they mean to you, everyday......
"..."My Father's Eyes" was inspired by the fact that Clapton never met his father, Edward Fryer, who died in 1985. Describing how he wishes he knew his father, the song also refers to Clapton's son Conor, who died in 1991 at age four after falling from an apartment window."
I also played this song at my Dad's funeral , I miss my Dad , I love this song , thanks Eric Clapton , a beautiful song to remember our fathers , God Bless .
I lost my father many years ago and this song still moves me! Enjoy your parents while they are still alive! This song has great meaning to those who have lost their parents and should motovate those who still have theirs alive to appreciate what they have!
Charlie Hecht the greatest loss in life is when someone loses a parent especially when they are close. I love my dad who passed away this year. I miss you dad and pray that I see you one day.
I miss my parents. Lost my dad when I wad 11 and my mom at 38. I want to live life today that would make them proud of me. And to know they would still love me. I love the verse "Bit by bit ... I realized. I realized: I looked into my father's eyes."
Everytime I hear that song, I feel bad for all the things I've done wrong to my dad and at the same time I am so glad that he is still with me and I can show him what he means to me.
Lost my dad Easter this year. 9 months later and I still grieve for him. Treasure your father while you have him. I miss him everyday. I love you dad, we will meet again and I will look into your eyes again...
I have always loved this song, but I now love,understand and feel it better, now that I have just lost my Dad. I am the last to see his eyes! I actually closed them. How painful 😭😭😭😭Rest in peace my dad, my best friend!!!
Thanking my Father in heaven for Eric and his gift, offering so many insights to us. (So few appreciate this , as some crude and shallow comments indicate.) Here in Tulsa where Eric worked with his Oklahoma crew, it’s easy to receive and experience the kind of love he sings of
I missed my father so much,,he was very tough old school man,,but he made man of me. Thank you dad for all great values you thought me,,,Love you and miss you.❤😥
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my mom at 18. I never thought I would get over it, and I allowed grief to overtake me. The sadness nearly destroyed me. You will always miss him, but please enjoy the life he gave you. You'll see him again on the other side.
I remember hearing this on Nash Bridges, when his father collapses from a heart attack. This song plays while he's standing over his resting father in the hospital. That memory always makes me tear up. Such a beautiful song.
I lost my father in 2011... Allah Knows the pain I went through... regretting every moment I could have spent with him that I blew away... shame we can't go back in time and regain so many lost opportunities... I miss you Baba... insha Allah in heaven I will see you
From when I was born, my father was telling me that I was a mistake, and that I was not wanted. My earliest memories were of him having no patience with me, anger, and being beaten. And yet, in his last days, I was the one there who realized that his time was up. Shunned by my siblings, I could not be there for his last moments, because I had seen months of him breaking down to nothing. I actually came to this song for my daughter. Because I know that everything I never had as a kid, I give to her. I will get this song for her, and hope that in years to come, she will relate it to me.
I'm SOOOOOOO THANKFUL I WAS ABLE TO LOOK INTO MY FATHER EYES TODAY AND SPEND FATHER'S DAY WITH HIM❤️❤️❤️🤵🏾 he's been the ONLY man that's ever really loved me!!!! God thank you for my EARTHLY DAD he has really loved me unconditionally ❤️
Need to know the right thing to do??? My dad has been gone 39 years. When I have a question as to what the right thing to do, i hear this song and ask what my Dad would do.
My father is a living legend, a true hero! Decorated military man, navy captain, company CEO, self made man, enthusiastic about fishing, loving husband and greatest father. Everything I've done right in my life so far, he has influenced in a way for the better. Thank you for everything dad! May you one day proudly exclaim "That's my son" to what I have achieved. May we have a million more toasts to good things.
Драга, мила Анастасиа - и ја тугујем за мојим татом , увек када чујем ову песму- а прошло је толико година--Вечнаја Памјат!......Саучествујем у твојој тузи, овде, из Сербије...
Following my father's passing at age 72 in 1999, I had several dreams about him. In the most vivid of these dreams, I was standing in front of him, simply looking into his eyes, no words being said. That dream is what I think of when I hear this beautiful tribute by Clapton.
I've had many dreams where my father is just smiling at me and I can hear his thoughts, almost like telepathic. Those have been the most special, because the feelings are so real and I believe are a real message from the other side.
eric was my dads favorite singer. I have always liked eric clapton too. I lost my dad almost 2 years ago and its really changed me.. there are days where i just wish i could sit with him and feel that feeling of comfort and saftey that we all took for granted as kids..
Lost my father in January this year, everytime i hear this song, I cry my eyes out, i miss you da, watch over me, keep me on the straight and narrow and I know if i have a question you will answer it in your own way ❤ love you dad
Paused at 0:15 already crying so much I want to tell him. So many emotions I wanna scream at him I wanna laugh I wanna cry with him, oh dad why did you have to leave so soon, you’re gonna finally gonna grandpa like you wanted for a while, and you’re not here physically to witness this new chapter in life I try to find you at the bottom of the bottles hoping to see you cause you loved to drink dad, why didn’t you tell us you were dying dad why did you keep it a secret from us, I beat my self up cuz there’s so many things I wish I could change growing up you left a gaping hole where my heart used to be, but i forgive you dad, please visit mom she hasn’t been the same since.
Whenever I couldn’t be near my dad or thinking about him and my brother in another country I would play this song, and dance and sang out loud. Few days ago my dad passed away, my brother couldn’t be near and this song saved me. Whenever I see my brother, and look at him I always see that glimpse of my fathers eyes... remember and cherish every single moment ❤️
I missed out on the first 3 yrs of my daughter. Not bc I didn't want to but bc I didn't even know she existed. Ever since I found out that I had a daughter, nothing stopped me. Now I'm a big part of her life. She's 5 now and we're closer than ever. "I need my father's eyes" . Love you Vivian
A beautiful song dedicated to his Father.. I had a wonderful and sweet Father and he was my best friend and not a day goes by that I don't miss him. He was the perfect Daddy for me..
Sometimes we don't ever think about loosing a family member but sometimes it happens so fast as with my mother and father. So next time you see yours give them a big hug and hold on and don't let go, let them know how much you love them.
I love this song, it makes me think of my father and how things would have been if he had not decided to walk out of my life when I was just a toddler...I guess I will never know what is like to at least look in his eyes.
You haven't lost your father he's always will love you, just as I love my father's eyes, father bless his soul please I beg of you and forgive him his transgression.
you're not the only one who lost a father. I lost my father, too, last March 2017. He was my first music teacher as well. He died not because of disease or complications but from a broken heart after my mother passed away last November 2015 due to cancer. I thought I would give up playing music because I felt part of me died with him yet still, here I am... still playing music like he always plays. After he died, I asked him, "Dad, how can I carry your legacy? How can I carry you? I feel I can't go on without you." Yet, I am still here. Still playing and playing the music he played when he was still alive. I realize: I am indeed continuing his legacy but carry few things at a time. Hope this helps you a lot. You, me, and everybody else lost their fathers but life goes on. I am sure your dad is watching you and you have to keep moving. But his legacy on you, will always be there. Carry few things at a time and sooner or later, it's comforting before you know it. God bless.
Just had my son feb 4th and moved my father up from Florida back to jersey. So happy to have him around and dance to this with my son. God bless you all!
