| Would’ve been better for us both had we never
|
| In this wide and wicked world had never met
|
| For the pleasure we’ve both seen together
|
| I am sure, love, I’ll never forget
|
| 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
|
| Leaves me with a sad and aching heart
|
| 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 When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me Will you come, dear, and shed just one tear
|
| And say to the strangers around you
|
| A poor heart you have broken lies here
|
| 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 |
