Green Eyes
Green eyes
Where has my lover gone
I’m wasting away
Hoping our love will bond
And light up the sky
And fill up my soul
Now that my love is not here
I know what I fear
There’s some one who’s better than me who can take you away
Your blue eyes
I remember that special night
You yelled to the world
Oh yes that indeed we might
Be one of a kind
You swept me away
Leaving me stranded in hope
But when I awoke
Impressions beside me so vacant these sheets so cold
Green eyes
Sentimental lady
You’re as tender as they come
But as the ground beneath you crumbles
Your senses become senselessly numb
As high as the sun you do rise
Is as low as the moon you do fall
You’re shifting your eyes
And the funny thing is
That’s not how it is
He cares for you madly but sadly you’re killing the flame
And oh
Now that your love is gone
It’s the end of the road
So you’ll just keep moving on
In search of a soul
Who lights up the sky
Dear lord now when will we learn
The love that we earn
Is only as close as the trust we give in return
Green eyes
