Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby, you just make me mad
[Chorus]
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
[Verse 2]
Thought of you as my mountain top
I thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
I've had but couldn't keep
I've had but couldn't keep
[Chorus]
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Oh, linger on your pale blue eyes
[Verse 3]
If I could make the world as pure
And strange as what I see
I'd put you in the mirror
I put in front of me
I put in front of me
[Chorus]
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
[Verse 4]
Skip the life completely
Stuff it in a cup
She said "Money is like us in time
It lies, but can't stand up
Down for you is up"
[Chorus]
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
[Verse 5]
It was good what we did yesterday
And I'd do it once again
The fact that you are married
Only proves you're my best friend
But it's truly, truly a sin
[Chorus]
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
[Outro]
Linger on
Linger on your pale blue eyes
