Would have 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
[Instrumental break]
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
[Instrumental break]
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
