Pale Blue Eyes Lyrics

[00:07.36] Sometimes I feel so happy
[00:10.96]
[00:13.01] Sometimes I feel so sad
[00:19.18] Sometimes I feel so happy
[00:23.07] But mostly, you just make me mad
[00:29.29] Baby, you just make me mad
[00:36.81] Linger on your pale blue eyes
[00:48.30] Linger on your pale blue eyes
[00:59.32]
[01:02.42] Thought of you as my mountaintop
[01:08.39] Thought of you as my peak
[01:14.46] Thought of you as everything
[01:19.12] I've had but couldn't keep
[01:24.94] I've had but couldn't keep
[01:31.95] Linger on your pale blue eyes
[01:43.80] Linger on your pale blue eyes
[01:57.01] If I could make the world as pure
[02:02.84] And strange as what I see
[02:08.60] I'd put you in the mirror
[02:14.45] I put in front of me
[02:20.12] I put in front of me
[02:24.38]
[02:27.57] Linger on your pale blue eyes
[02:39.21] Linger on your pale blue eyes
[02:49.44]
[03:47.93] Skip a life completely
[03:53.82] Stuff it in a cup
[03:59.23] She said money is like us in time
[04:04.31] It lies, but can't stand up
[04:08.19]
[04:10.54] Down for you is up
[04:17.68] Linger on your pale blue eyes
[04:29.10] Linger on your pale blue eyes
[04:39.33]
[04:43.18] It was good what we did yesterday
[04:48.88] And I'd do it once again
[04:54.55] The fact that you are married
[04:58.64] Only proves you're my best friend
[05:03.74]
[05:06.19] But it's truly, truly a sin
[05:12.74] Linger on your pale blue eyes
[05:21.99]
[05:24.51] Linger on your pale blue eyes
[05:32.42]
