[Verse 1]
It would been better for us both had we never
In this wide, wicked world, had never met
For the pleasures we've both seen together
I'm sure, love, I'll never forget

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of him lonely
And I wonder if he ever thinks of me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Oh, you told me once, dear, that you loved me
And you said that that we never would part
But a link in the chain has been broken
Leaving me with a sad, aching heart

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of him lonely
And I wonder if he ever thinks of me
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me
Won't you come here and shed just one tear?
And say to the strangers around you
A poor heart you have broken lies here?

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of him lonely
And I wonder if he ever thinks of me

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of him lonely
And I wonder if he ever thinks of me
