When He looks at Her Country Lyric

When he looks at Her

When my daughter started dating,
my weekends were spent waiting.
For her to get home safe,
they?d better not be late.
Now, I trust my daughter,
but that guy who came and got her.
Well, that is something else;
I'd have to see for myself.

If she?s just a notch on his gun,
he had best keep on hunting.
If he don't think I'm watching him,
then he don't know nothing.
He shakes my hand like a man;
So far he's walked the line.
But I intend on finding out,
what he has in mind.

When he looks at her,
does he see what I see?
Could she ever mean as much to him as she means to me?
Will he be the one to love her?
Give her a family of her own?
Will he grow old beside her?
Long after I am gone?
If I could get inside his head and see
What he sees.
When he looks at her.

When we go out to eat with them,
they remind me of us.
How they smile so big and seem so right
even when they fuss.
Then I caught a glimpse of his eyes,
looking into hers
in that moment
I saw all I need to see,

When he looks at her,
does he see what I see?
Could she ever mean as much to him as she means to me?
Will he be the one to love her?
Give her a family of her own?
Will he grow old beside her?
Long after I am gone?
If I could get inside his head and see
What he sees.
When he looks at her.
