I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes by A.P. Carter One of the most popular and unrequited love songs of all time, this song entered country music tradition in 1929 when it was recorded and was made famous by the original Carter Family. The tune is practically the same as a number of later songs, including "Great Speckled Bird," "Wild Side Of Life," and "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels." I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes 'Twould been better for us both had we never In this wide and wicked world had never met, But the pleasure we both seemed to gather I'm sure, love, I'll never forget Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes Who is sailing far over the sea I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes And I wonder if he ever thinks of me Oh, you told me once, dear, that you loved me; You vowed that we never would part But a link in the chain has been broken Leaving me with a sad and aching heart When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me Will you come near and shed just one tear? Will you say to the strangers around you A poor heart you have broken lies here? Buy the song I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes
