blue eyes

I was just about to leave when you walked in

I took my coat back off again and told all my friends

I was staying just a little while longer

But they all knew the reason why, and I won't lie

I couldn't help myself, it's true

When I walked right up to you

And I said

Hey there, blue eyes, I don't even know your name

Would you care to dance?

Take my hand and let the night lights spin away

Saw you look my way from there across the room

You caught my eye and I caught yours

I'm seeing stars out of the blue

We were only six or seven goodnights in

When I realized that you belong here in my arms

So I paid your favorite singer to drive down here from Nashville

To be there at our table and sing your song

I was terrified, it's true

When I knelt there next to you

And I said

Hey there, blue eyes, do you wanna take my name?

Would you care to dance?

Take my hand and let the night lights spin away

Saw you look my way from there across the room

You caught my eye and I caught yours

I'm seeing stars out of the blue

It was just about 6:30 in the morning

When the nurse said it was time

"She's doing fine"

I was sweating bullets, standing by the bed

A million thoughts were racing through my mind

What would you be like?

Let your mother hold you first

When I finally got my turn

And I said

Hey there, blue eyes, you don't even know your name

My little man, take my hand, and let the night lights fade away

Saw you look my way from there across the room

You caught my eye and I caught yours

I'm seeing stars out of the blue

Out of the blue

Out of the blue
