Lyrics

In the twilight glow I see her

Blue eyes cryin' in the rain

When we kissed goodbye and parted

I knew we'd never meet again


Love is like a dyin' ember

Only memories remain

Through the ages I'll remember

Blue eyes cryin' in the rain


Some day when we meet up yonder

We'll stroll hand in hand again

In a land that knows no partin'

Blue eyes cryin' in the rain
