Will you stay with me On the balcony And we'll sink in our seats as the people all leave We can hide out as the curtain comes down and fall asleep to sleeping sounds When the morning is growing near We'll see if the coast is clear
Green eyes are better than blue I ain't trying to be mean, I'm just telling the truth It's enough to make me run away with you, darling Green eyes are better than blue
She says this isn't easy I know loving the hands that you ain't supposed to hold And I'll pray for the days that I wont sleep alone She says, "This isn't easy I know"
Green eyes are better than blue I ain't trying to be mean, I'm just telling the truth It's enough to make me run away with you, darling Green eyes are better than blue
Johnny says don't bring her down 'Cause when the pedestal crumbles and falls to the ground You will wish that you left her the way that you found her Johnny says don't bring her down
Green eyes are better than blue I ain't trying to be mean, I'm just telling the truth It's enough to make me run away with you, darling Green eyes are better than blue
Well I saw you in the water last night You were smiling at me as you slipped out of sight When I woke from my dream I was screaming for life 'cause I saw you in the water last night
Green eyes are better than blue I ain't trying to be mean, I'm just telling the truth It's enough to make me run away with you, darling Green eyes are better than blue I said green eyes are better than blue
