Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
In the twilight glow I see herBlue eyes cryin’ in the rainAnd when we kissed goodbye and partedI knew we’d never meet againLove is like a dyin’ emberAnd only memories remainAnd through the ages I’ll rememberBlue eyes cryin’ in the rainSome day when we meet up yonder (up yonder)We’ll stroll hand in hand againIn a land that knows no partin’Blue eyes cryin’ in the rainThank you very much
