It would have better for us both,
In this wide and wicked world
I'm sure love I'll never forget
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
And I wonder if he ever thinks
Oh, you told me once, dear,
You said that we never would part
But a link in the chain has been broken
Leaves me with a sad and aching heart
Who is sailing far over the sea
And I wonder if he ever thinks
cold grave shall enclose me,
And say to the strangers around you
Of her heart you have broken last year
Who is sailing far over the sea
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
And I wonder if he ever thinks of me
