Ever Blue

Ever Blue

Don't you remember

            the magic of September

                        when you said my eyes were blue

                                    of deepest hue

                        and your voice grew

                                    low

                        forgive me

                                    it was so long ago.

Hey you

            my eyes are still blue

                        but the race is almost done

                                    my day is closing with the setting sun.

The world keeps on turning

            but nothing left for my heart the yearning

                        simply is yearning

                                    just for you.

Hey my eyes are blue

            and I love you

                        but the velvet shadows are softly falling

                                    and my soul to you is calling.

The leaves lie burning

            with the season turning

                        blowing yellow and brown

                                    upon the down.

But I forgot

            forgive me you cannot

                        you lie under the frost

                                    and I am lost.

My heart is blue

            lies bleeding on the dew

                        it bleeds for you

                                    only you.

Hey you

            my eyes were always blue

                        blue

                                    ever blue.
