Elvis Costello When Green Eyes Turn Blue Lyrics

When Green Eyes Turn Blue Lyrics

Every single time it becomes too much

There's nothing I can say or I can touch

But the glory is, as it comes passing through

I know I will be there when green eyes turn blue



It's the same for me time appears to teach

There is nothing quite beyond our reach

Wits may sharpen up their cuts and clever flays

Let them squander all of them you brighten up my darkest gaze



And as a consequence I can see out of the gloom

That I gathered about myself

That I thought would flatter me

What the hell was the matter with me?



Every single time I approached despair

I thought of your name and you were there

I won't burden you as promises will do

But I know I will be there when green eyes turn blue
