Those tender blue eyes,
Which mirror the skies,
Those mild beaming eyes
Of heavenly light
Make ev'ry heart beat
With a shrill of delight.

One gentle word charming the ear
Will echo through life (a spell it may be);
One tender glance, beam on forever;
Alas, that sweet glance once shone on me.
Those tender blue eyes etc.

Qh' Wouldst thou know why sadness reigns
O'er ev'ry lone heart, when thou'rt away?
Why trembling fear empire obtains
And brooding despair hold her dark sway?
Those tender blue eyes etc.

Vainly I shun thy beauteous form
Or try to forget thine eyes' lovely hue:
Earth has no charms in sunshine or storm,
When thy sweet face is lost to my view.
Those tender blue eyes etc.
