Grey Eyes You Know Lyrics

Waylon Jennings

Verse 1:
That cold north wind is blowin', grey eyes you know
The 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

Verse 2:
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 row to hoe
But you stuck right by me smiling, grey eyes you know

Bridge:
Hard times took the blue from your eyes
Leaving them grey,as the winter skies

Verse 3:
We had our time I must walk away
Leave you here beneath this mound of clay
And I feel so empty as I turn to go
Would my heart lie there beside you, grey eyes you know My heart lies there beside you, grey eyes you know
