[Verse 1]
You have sad blue eyes
Crooked smile and two holes in your blue jeans
They were always falling off slow
How I know all the scars on your body
We stayed out all night
Chased the snow down and danced in the driveway
All the furniture smelled of smoke
How I know that we'll never return here
Running faster now
You're the strong man who plays like a child
Skipping stones that sink so slow
How I wish I could hold them from falling

[Refrain]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, don't cry, blue eyes
Ooh, don't cry, blue eyes

[Verse 2]
And I slammed the floor, yelled across the room
Dropped off and speed away
And your last words were how I should know
I should grow in a world without your face

[Verse 3]
So here I am
All alone with the words I can't sing to you
So I sing them to all of the walls
Every one of them's covered in writing
I have sad green eyes
Crooked nose and a heart that still beats for you
Even though the rest of me's slow
'Fraid to grow up and watch the world turning
[Outro]
Ooh, don't cry, blue eyes
Ooh, don't cry, blue eyes
Ooh, don't cry, blue eyes
Ooh, don't cry, blue eyes
Ooh, don't cry, blue eyes
Ooh, don't cry, blue eyes
