Lyrics
I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It would been better for us both had we never,
in this wide and wicked world had never met,
for the pleasure we both seemed to gather,
I'm sure, love, I'll never forget.
CHORUS
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my Blue Eyes,
who is sailing far over the sea.
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my Blue Eyes,
and I wonder if he ever thinks of me.
Oh, you told me once, dear, that you loved me,
you said that we never would part,
but a link in the chain has been broken,
leaving me with a sad and aching heart.
CHORUS
When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me,
will you come near and shed just one tear?
Will you say to the strangers around you,
a poor heart you have broken lies here?
CHORUS
