[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby you just make me mad

[Chorus]
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

[Verse 2]
You know I thought of you as my mountain top
You know I thought of you as my peak
I thought of you as just about everything
That I had but I just couldn't keep
I've had but I just couldn't keep

[Chorus]
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

[Verse 3]
If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see
You know I'd put you all in the mirror that I put in front of me
That I put in front of me
[Chorus]
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, darling

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Skip a life completely, stuff it in a cup
You know what she said?
"You and me, we're just like money in time
You know it lies but it can't stand up
And down for you is up"

[Chorus]
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

[Verse 5]
It was good what we did yesterday
And I'd sure do it again
And the fact that you are married
Ah that only, ah that only proves that you're my best friend
But it's truly, truly a sin

[Chorus]
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
