Blue Ribbon Eyes
I wish I could be
In North Carolina

Lying under the trees
You and me, baby
Birds flying by

Looking into your blue ribbon eyes

Driving to Hamlet

You said, matter of fact
That you'd always love her
And none after that

I swallowed big tears
Under pretty blue skies
Memories of love in your blue ribbon eyes


Why, oh, why
Did you tempt my heart with love

You, only you, made me believe in heaven above

Now I know there's a hell

'Cause I'm burning inside
You smiled and you kissed me
Strong arms held me tight

We laughed in the meadow
You called me "first prize"
I'll never forget your blue ribbon eyes
