Pretty Blue Eyes
Steve Lawrence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought I was in love before
And then you moved in next door
Pretty blue eyes, pretty blue eyes

All the guys from the neighborhood
Keep sayin' you sure look good
With your blue eyes, pretty blue eyes

Saw you from my window
My heart skipped a beat
Gonna sit by your doorstep
So that I can meet

Pretty blue eyes, please come out today
So I can tell you what I have to say
That I love you, love you
Pretty blue eyes

Saw you from my window
My heart skipped a beat
Gonna sit by your doorstep
So that I can meet

Pretty blue eyes, please come out today
So I can tell you what I have to say
That I love you, love you
Pretty blue eyes

[Repeat to Fade]
Pretty blue eyes

@pellucidar

Still brings tears to my eyes, fifty years after I first heard this song. Just a timeless melody and singing style. In Europe, you can still hear songs done in the style of our 1960's pop music, with genuine melodies and harmonies that lift your spirits, not just sink them like a lead brick, which is the current trend in the USA.
