Fell Into Her Deep Blue Eyes

Tim O'Brien · Other Songs - Tim O'Brien

We have our moods sometimes we might get out of synch

We might even have a fight if we have to much to drink

I guess she has her own shape and I know I must have mine

But we make one happy shape, one big happy shape most of the time



We were just two kids handin' round in college town

We fell in love one afternoon as the sun went down

I haven't cared for money, I haven't cared for the things it buys

Since the day I fell into, since I fell into her deep blue eyes



Chorus:

I'd never leave her, I wouldn't last too long

You know the mornings and the afternoons

And the nights would be all wrong

I'd never leave her, I wouldn't compromise

I'd rather end it all if I couldn't fall into those deep blue eyes



When she's mad at me you know I'm just not good for much

I'd die if I had to reach out and she wasn't there to touch

I have to ask her questions, I have to ask her 'bout eighty times a day

It's more to hear that low-pitched voice

Than anything that she might have to say



Chorus



It's been over twenty years since we took our honeymoon

Now sometimes I snore so loud she has to sleep in the other room

She complains about my drivin', she complains about the clothes I wear

But I don't complain when I watch her walkin'

Walkin' around our room in her underwear



Chorus
