Will you stay with me In the balcony And we'll slink in our seats As the people all leave We can hide out as the curtain comes down And fall asleep to sleeping sounds When the morning is growing near I'll see if the coast is clear Green eyes are better than blue I ain't trying to be mean I'm just telling the truth It's enough to make me run away with you Darling green eyes are better than blue She says this isn't easy you know Loving the hands that you ain't s'pose to hold And I'll pray for the days that I won't sleep alone She says this isn't easy you know Green eyes are better than blue I ain't trying to be mean, just telling the truth It's enough to make me run away with you Darling green eyes are better than blue Johnny says don't bring her down When the pedestal crumbles and falls to the ground You will wish that you left her the way that you found her Johnny says don't bring her down Green eyes are better than blue I ain't trying to be mean, just telling the truth It's enough to make me run away with you Darling green eyes are better than blue Well I saw you in the water last night You were smiling at me as you slipped out of sight When I woke from my dream I was screaming for life 'Cause I saw you in the water last night Green eyes are better than blue I ain't trying to be mean, just telling the truth It's enough to make me run away with you Darling green eyes are better than blue I said green eyes are better than blue I said green eyes are better than blue I said green eyes are better than blue
