BLUE EYES 
Dave Ringle

as recorded by
Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm
November 6th 1940 New York


Blue eyes, blue eyes, tell me, do,
Did the angels bring me you?
Are your lips rose petal too?
Blue eyes, blue eyes, tell me, do!

Ten little fingers, made for caressing,
Ten little toes to be fondled all day!
Two little arms that were sent as a blessing
To hug and rub my cares away!

Blue eyes, blue eyes, tell me, do,
Were the sunbeams meant for you?
When you smile the world smiles too,
Blue eyes, blue eyes, I love you!

Ah blue eyes, blue eyes, sad man near,
May the angels guard you, dear!
While you dreamboat, sail the sky,
Blue eyes, blue eyes, hushabye!
My sweet, hushabye, go to sleep now, go to sleep, go to sleep!
