When Green Eyes Turn Blue Lyrics by Elvis Costello

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.
