[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But lately you just make me mad
Lately you just make me mad
[Refrain]
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
[Verse 2]
I thought of you as my mountaintop
I thought of you as my peak
I thought of you as everything
I've had but couldn't keep
I've had but couldn't keep
[Refrain]
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
[Verse 3]
If I could make the world as pure
And strange as what I see
I'd put you in a mirror
I place in front of me
I place in front of me
[Refrain]
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Skip a life completely
And stuff it in a cup
She said "Money, it's like us in time
It lies but can't stand up
Down for you is up"
[Refrain]
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
[Verse 5]
It was fun what we did yesterday
And I'd do it once again
The fact that you are married
It only proves you're my best friend
And it's truly, truly a sin
[Refrain]
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
[Instrumental]
Pale Blue Eyes was written by Lou Reed.
