I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes

(Album: The Essential Gene Autry 1933-1946 - 1992)

Would be better for us had we never
In this wide, wicked world ever met
For the pleasures we've both 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?

Oh, you told me once, dear, that you loved me
You said that we never would part
But a link in the chain has been broken
Leaves me with a sad and aching heart

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is waiting far over the sea
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of her only
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me?

When in time the 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've broken lies here

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is waiting far over the sea
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of her only
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me?
