EYES OF BABY BLUE(looking at grandfather clocks)  (December 2008)
Another song.

Eyes of Baby Blue
----------------
First Verse
---------------
I get that same old yearning every time she passes by,
my heart sets on fire and the stars light up the sky.
I never thought I'd feel this way,but now I know it's true,
just what she can do with those two eyes of baby blue.

Second verse
-------------
She doesn't know about me 'cos she's never looked my way,
but still I know I'm gonna make her mine some sunny day.
For all I've ever wanted since she first walked into view,
is to spend the rest of my life with those eyes of baby blue.

Chorus
-------
People often say to me, he's lost who hesitates,
but they're all wrong and pretty soon they'll see.
For I believe that everything will come to he who waits,
and it won't be long before she comes to me.

Last verse
--------------
She'll turn my way, she'll speak my name and smile a soft sweet smile,
and ask me if I think that she should linger for awhile.
The whole wide world will envy me and perhaps the heavens too,
when I walk hand in hand with those two eyes of baby blue.

Repeat chorus and last verse.

GRANDFATHER CLOCKS AM I!
