Burl Ives - I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes

'Twould been better for us both had we never
In this wide and wicked world had never met,
But the pleasure we both seemed to gather
I'm sure, love, I'll never forget

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
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 vowed that we never would part
But a link in the chain has been broken
Leaving me with a sad and aching heart

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?
Burl Ives - I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes      'Twould been better for us both had we never   In this wide and wicked world had never met,   But the pleasure we both seemed to gather   I'm sure, love, I'll never forget      Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes   Who is sailing far over the sea   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 vowed that we never would part   But a link in the chain has been broken   Leaving me with a sad and aching heart      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?
