Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain

Elvis Presley · From His Roots [2006]

In the twilight glow I see her

Blue eyes crying in the rain

When we kissed goodbye and parted

I knew we'd never meet again



Love is like a dying ember

Only memories remain

Through the ages I remember

Blue eyes crying in the rain



Someday when we meet up yonder

We'll stroll hand in hand again

In a land that knows no parting

Blue eyes crying in the rain



Blue eyes crying in the rain

Blue eyes crying in the rain

Blue eyes crying in the rain
