Would be better for us had we never
In this wide, wicked world ever met
For the pleasures 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 she ever thinks of me?
Oh you told me one time that you loved me
And you promised that we'd never part
But a link in the chain has been broken
Leaves me now with a sad and aching heart.
Oh I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is waiting far over the sea
Oh I'm thinking tonight of her only
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me?
When in time the cold grey should enclose me
Will you come dear and shed just one tear?
Will you say to the strangers around you
A poor heart you've broken lies here?
Oh I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is waiting far over the sea
Oh I'm thinking tonight of her only
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me?
