Lyrics

Would be better for us had we never
In this wide and wicked world never met
For the pleasures we've both have 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 she ever thinks of me
And you told me once, dear, that you loved me
You swore that we never would part
But a link in the chain has been broken
Leaves me with a sad and aching heart
When that 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 there
Written by: A.P. Carter
