I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes
As recorded by Gene Autry, 1942
Written by A.P. Carter
G C
Would be better for us had we never
D7 G
In this wide, wicked world ever met.
C
For the pleasures we've both seen together,
D7 G
I am sure love I'll never forget.
Chorus 1:
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?
Verse 2:
Oh you told me one time that you loved me,
And you promised that we'd never part.
But a link in the chain has been broken
Leaves me now with a sad and aching heart.
Chorus 2:
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?
Verse 3:
When in time the cold grey should 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?
Repeat Chorus 2
