The evening sun
was breaking low,
when dark eyes whispered, I must go.
Not one moment would he wait,
he'd kiss my cheek to lift the gate.
Now it's those dark eyes
that love so well,
it's those dark eyes I long to see.
And now I sigh for those dark eyes,
a stranger they have grown to be.
The last we met was on the street,
I bowed my head but could not speak.
There was another by my side
Who expected me to be her bride
Now it's those dark eyes
that look so well
It's those dark eyes I long to see
And now I sigh for those dark eyes,
a stranger they have grown to be.
Last beneath the churchyard glade,
they laid my own dark eyes away.
When from every one I'm free,
angels and dark eyes wait for me.
Now it's those dark eyes I love so well,
it's those dark eyes I long to see.
Now I sigh for those dark eyes,
a stranger they have grown
to be.
In good times or in please don't leave.
