I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blues Eyes Songtext
von The Carter Family

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
