Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blue eyes
Babys got blue eyes
Like a deep blue sea
On a blue blue day
Blue eyes
Babys got blue eyes
When the morning comes
Ill be far away

And I say

Blue eyes
Holding back the tears
Holding back the pain
Babys got blue eyes
And shes alone again

Blue eyes
Babys got blue eyes
Like a clear blue sky
Watching over me
Blue eyes
I love blue eyes
When Im by her side
Where I long to be
I will see

Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain

Babys got blue eyes
And I am home, and I am home again
