Blue Ribbon Eyes

Blue Ribbon Eyes
 I wish I could be
 In North Carolina
 Lying under the trees
 You and me, baby
 Birds flying by
 Looking into your blue ribbon eyes
 Driving to Hamlet
 You said, matter of fact
 That you'd always love her
 And none after that
 I swallowed big tears
 Under pretty blue skies
 Memories of love in your blue ribbon eyes
 Why, oh, why
 Did you tempt my heart with love?
 You, only you, made me believe in heaven above
 Now I know there's a hell
 'Cause I'm burning inside
 You smiled and you kissed me
 Strong arms held me tight
 We laughed in the meadow
 You called me "first prize"
 I'll never forget your blue ribbon eyes
 Why, oh, why
 Did you tempt my heart with love?
 You, only you, made me believe in heaven above
 Now I know there's a hell
 'Cause I'm burning inside
 You smiled and you kissed me
 Strong arms held me tight
 We laughed in the meadow
 You called me "first prize"
 I'll never forget your blue ribbon eyes
 I'll never forget your blue ribbon eyes
