When morning tints the eastern skies
And the sun shines down on all I see
It's then that I sigh for those dark eyes
That were in deepest love with me

Those dark eyes I love so well
Those dark eyes I long to see
How I long for those dark eyes
Strangers they have grown to be

When evening tints the western skies
And darkness surrounds all I see
It's then that I sigh for those dark eyes
That once look with love on me

Those dark eyes I love so well
Those dark eyes I long to see
How I long for those dark eyes
Strangers they have grown to be

When last we met was on the street
I turned my face so she would not see
But another man was by her side
Soon would take her for his bride

Those dark eyes I love so well
Those dark eyes I long to see
How I long for those dark eyes
Strangers they have grown to be

Those dark eyes I love so well
Those dark eyes I long to see
How I long for those dark eyes
Strangers they have grown to be

How I long for those dark eyes
Strangers they have grown to be
