Harlan Howard Lyrics
"Grey Eyes You Know"

(Harlan Howard - Gene Meyers)

That cold north wind is blowing, grey eyes you know
Years are quickly going, grey eyes you know
And the good life I promised you so long ago
Is dead but for the dreaming, grey eyes you know.

We never had much money, grey eyes you know
More rainy days than sunny, grey eyes you know
And life has been a long hard road to hoe
But you stuck right by me smiling, grey eyes you know.

Hard times took the blue from your eyes
Leaving them grey as the winter's skies
Well we've had our talk now I must walk away
And leave you here beneath this pound of clay
And I feel so empty as I turn to go
For my heart lies there beside you, grey eyes you know.

Yes, my heart lies there beside you, grey eyes you know...
