That cold north wind is blowing grey eyes you know

Years are quickly going grey eyes you know

And the good life I promised you so long ago

Is dead but for the dreaming grey eyes you know

We never had much money grey eyes you know

More rainy days than sunny grey eyes you know

And life has been a long hard road to hoe

But you stuck right by me smiling grey eyes you know

Hard times took the blue from your eyes leaving them grey as the winter's skies

Well we've had our talk now I must walk away

And leave you here beneath this pound of clay

And I feel so empty as I turn to go

For my heart lies there beside you grey eyes you know

Yes my heart lies there beside you grey eyes you know
