I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes Lyrics & Chords By The Carter Family

It would've been better for us both had we never
In this wide and wicked world had never 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 he ever thinks of me
Oh, you told me once, dear, that you love me
You said that we never would part
But a link in the chain has been broken
Leave me with the sad and aching heart
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 he ever thinks of me
When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me
Will you come near and shed just one tear?
And say to the strangers around you
A poor heart you have broken lies here
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 he ever thinks of me
