The ToneWay® Project: helping people play music


I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes

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

Chorus
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
Oh I'm thinking tonight of him only
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 dear, and shed just one tear
Will you say to the strangers around you
A poor heart you have broken lies here
