[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel just about everything
Lately I'm just feeling bad
Lately I'm just feeling bad
[Chorus]
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
[Verse 2]
I thought of you as my mountain top
I thought of you as my peak
I thought of you as just about everything
I had but couldn't keep
I had but couldn't keep
[Chorus]
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
[Chorus]
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
[Outro]
"That was really pretty."
Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel just about everything
Lately I'm just feeling bad
Lately I'm just feeling bad
[Chorus]
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
[Verse 2]
I thought of you as my mountain top
I thought of you as my peak
I thought of you as just about everything
I had but couldn't keep
I had but couldn't keep
[Chorus]
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
[Chorus]
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
[Outro]
"That was really pretty."
