Lyrics

Blue Eyes Nanci Hobson January 2014

She's got your blue eyes
Gets to me every time
When she says her prayers
And you're not there
She says, tell Daddy goodnight.
Wish I could shut my heart
The way I shut her door
I sit up half the night
Thinking, Jesus, I
can't take this any more
(chorus)
'cause you've had time
To make up your mind
You can take that road to wherever you're going,
And leave this all behind
And I won't stop you
I won't even try
But you've got to tell those blue eyes goodbye.

I'll know I'll be all right
I've got some friends in town
It's not the place where I grew up
But it's a place I can be right now
I'm willing to try
Make sure you understand
If you just can't slow down right now,
I'll find someone who can.

'cause you've had time
To make up your mind
You can take that road to wherever you're going,
And leave this all behind
And I won't stop you
I won't even try
But you've got to tell those blue eyes goodbye.

It's not the life that I dreamed
It's not where I thought I would be
but this time, I realized
this is not just about me...
Any more....
And you've had time
To make up your mind
You can take that road to wherever you're going,
And leave this all behind
And I won't stop you
I won't even try
But you've got to tell those blue eyes goodbye (repeat chorus)
(tag)
She's got your blue eyes
Gets to me every time
When she says her prayers
And you're not there
She says, tell Daddy goodnight.
